Optics
Optics is the science of light and deals with the behavior and properties of light, especially with how light interacts with matter (solid objects). Optics deals with how we perceive light and with how we can manipulate light through reflection and refraction (an important element for creating scope optics). Optical science usually concentrates on the behavior of visible, infrared, and ultra violet light.
