- - - - Concave mirror
        
        The surface of the inside of a sphere is reflective
      - Convex mirror
        
        The reflective surface of the outside part of a mirror is spherical
  - - - Reflected and passes trough the focus of a concave of a convex mirror.
    - - Passes through the center of the curvature an is reflected along the lenght of the trajectory of the orignal ray.
    - - Passes through the focus. FReflected parallel to the axis of the mirror
- - - - Converges and refracts a parallel light at a focal point(F) beyond the lens. Thicker in the center and taper at the ends. Used in cameras, microscopes, etc.
    - - Refracts and diverges parallel light from a F located in front of the lens. Thinner at the center than at the ends. For people who suffer from myopia.
- - - - The ray that reaches the mirror is called incident and the repulsed ray, reflected.
    - - This phenomenon is called diffuse reflection or diffusion of light
- - - - Thought light was emmited in the form of rays.
    - - First to relate light, sound and water with waves.
    - - He considered light as a kind of pulsation in the ether.
    - - Pointed out that light emanates from luminous bodies, colliding against objects and bouncing.
    - - Firs ideas known from the developers of atonism, such as him. Believed light was composed of a large number of particles.
    - - Formalized the wave theory of light.
    - - Made the first convincing demonstration about the nature of light.
    - - Contributed to the acceptance of the wave theory.
    - - Demostrated that light is an electromagnetic wave of high frequency.
    - - Found that light presents the phenomena of reflection, refaction, and diffraction.
    - - Returns to the corpuscular theory of light to explain radiation.
    - - Explained the Photoelectric effect.
    - - Showed that the corpuscular theory of light could explain the phenomena related to reflaction and refraction.
