Two Variational Principles in Geometrical Optics-Comparisons-
Summary :
The two variational principles, the Maupertuis' and the Hamilton's principle, are discussed in conjunction with the Fermat's principle. These two principles are shown to describe two different aspects of waves, thus resulting in the different geometry of wave propagation, the treatment of which is thus called the stationary optics or the dynamical optics, respectively. Comparisons for the results obtained from these geometrical optics are given. Another new variational principle valid for the dynamical waves reflected/refracted at the inter-faces, which has not yet been discovered so far, is also derived.
