Ray and Beam.

Open in App

Solution

Ray Beam
A ray is a concept widely used in optics,ray is an idealized narrow beam or a column of light. Beam is a narrow projection of a set of particles or waves.collection of rays
A ray cannot be observed physically and has a zero width. Beam has a finite width,and it can be observed physically.
Rays are discussed under light . Beams are discussed in both waves and particles and possess properties such as wavelength,amplitude and phase.
