Book Description
Excerpt from A Short Elementary Treatise on Experimental and Mathematical Optics In the present instance, the author's object is to facili tate the study of Elementary Optics, with immediate refer ence to the wants of the student, circumstanced as he at present is in the University of Oxford. To this particular case none of the existing treatises appear completely adapted; and though such is the discouragement under which physical studies labour in this place, that the mere character of the treatises produced on these branches, can, perhaps, very little affect their actual progress; yet that no obstacle may remain which is capable of being removed, he considers it worth while to try to remedy the complaints against existing works, whether as too large and too difficult on the one hand, or as incomplete and obscure on the other.

History of the Principle of Interference of Light
Author: N. Kipnis
Publisher: Birkhäuser
ISBN: 3034886527
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 268
Book Description
The controversy between the wave theory and the emission theory of light early in the nineteenth century has been a subject of numerous studies. Yet many is sues remain unclear, in particular, the reasons for rejecting Young's theory of light. It appears that further progress in the field requires a better grasp of the overall situation in optics and related subjects at the time and a more thorough study of every factor suggested to be of importance for the dispute. This book is intended to be a step in this direction. It examines the impact of the concept of interference of light on the development of the early nineteenth century optics in general, and the theory of light, in particular. This is not a his tory of the wave theory of light, nor is it a history of the debate on the nature of light in general: it covers only that part of the controversy which involved the concept of interference. Although the book deals with a number of scientists, scientific institutions, and journals, its main character is a scientific concept, the principle of interference. While discussing the reasons for accepting or rejecting this concept I have primarily focused on scientific factors, although in some cases the human factor is examined as well. The book is a revised Ph. D. dissertation (University of Minnesota, 1984) writ ten under Alan E. Shapiro.
