Resumen:
Teaching and learning optics in high school: from Fermat to FeynmanIn this paper we analyze the bases of a proposal that allows teaching the notions of reflection, refraction, interference and diffraction, from a unified perspective, using the variational principle of Fermat, which is retrieved by Richard Feymann in his proposal for the road integral. This makes it possible to recover the notions of geometric optics and physical optics, using a probabilistic and unified model, such as quantum mechanics, employing mathematical notions that are available to students.
