Applied Optics Interpretation

# Applied Optics Interpretation Skill

## Overview
This skill enables interpretation in the domain of optics (physics). It represents intermediate-level expertise and is designed for production use in research, industry, and educational contexts.

## Description
Use this skill when you need to perform interpretation operations related to optics. This includes tasks such as:
- calculate forces
- model systems
- solve wave equations

The skill leverages computational models and follows best practices established in the physics community.

## Trigger Conditions
This skill should be activated when:
1. The user explicitly requests interpretation in the context of optics
2. The task requires intermediate-level understanding of physics principles
3. The output needs to be theoretical models
4. The work involves optics methodologies or techniques
