Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Introductory Treatise on the Nature and Properties of Light, and on Optical Instruments More than two thousand years have passed away since Aristotle, the earliest writer on Optics, whose Treatise has outlived the ravage of time, penned his unsuccessful paper. About fifty years after the celebrated Euclid wrote his in which he maintains that, "Visual rays issue from the eyes in diverging right lines, so as to form a pyramid, or cone, whose vertex is in the eye, and whose base encircles the object we contemplate." In 218, B. C., Archimides flourished; and a few years afterwards Ptolemy Euergetes fixed his great mirror on the tower of the Pharos at Alexandria. In the twelfth century, the celebrated Arabian Philosopher wrote his Treatise; afterwards published under the title of Thesaurus Opticae; and during the three following centuries arose Bacon, Porta, Maurolicus and Kepler. The seventeenth century produced Antonio de Dominis, Harriot, Boyle, Hooke, Grimaldi, Leibnitz, Barrow, - and the pride of England, Sir Isaac Newton.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Treatise on Physical Optics Those who are acquainted with the Mathematical Theories of Hydrodynamics, Sound and Elasticity on the one hand, and of Electricity and Light on the other, cannot fail to have been struck with the difference, which exists between the two classes of subjects. In the former class, certain equations are obtained, which approximately, though not quite accurately, specify in a mathematical form, the physical state of fluids and solids as they exist in Nature; and the subsequent investigation of these branches of Science, is thereby in great measure reduced to a question of mathematics. As soon as the fundamental equations are established, the subject is brought within the dominion of mathematical analysis, and mathematicians are enabled to exercise their ingenuity and analytical skill, in elaborating and developing the results which flow from them.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Physical Optics: Or the Nature and Properties of Light, a Descriptive and Experiment Treatise The author, on commencing an experimental study of Physical Optics more than a quarter of a century ago, found a want of experimental guidance in the treatises upon the subject, and this want has not yet been supplied. It is true that experimental results have been described, but not with the experimental detail which the student needs, in order to abridge his labour and facilitate his progress. Like other physical sciences, its development rests almost entirely upon the application of mathematical analysis, and accordingly the discussions of the original investigators are frequently too mathematical for general readers. Though the author, from the commencement of his experiments, had an adequate store of mathematical knowledge for application to his own researches, and to follow the researches of others, yet he has continually seen that the introduction of mathematical formulae into treatises upon Physical Optics must restrict the study of the science to a smaller class than was desirable; for many of the most expert experimenters have only slender acquirements in mathematical analysis. It has been the author's object to supply the want of a descriptive, experimental, and popular treatise on Physical Optics, and to point out the bearing of the different results upon the nature and properties of Light.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Treatise on Optics 1. When a material object is presented before us, we become by vision sensible of its existence and figure. In such a case light is said to be propagated from the object to our eyes, and the science of Optics has for its design the examination of the circumstances of such propagation. The science is divided into Geometrical and Physical Optics. In Geometrical Optics the circumstances of the transmission and modification of light are computed on certain laws established by experiment; in Physical Optics these laws are accounted for on hypotheses of the structure of bodies, and of the matter filling the space in which they are placed. In a similar manner in Geometrical Astronomy the phenomena of heavenly bodies are calculated on observed laws which their apparent motions are found to obey; in Physical Astronomy these apparent laws are shewn to result from the hypothesis of Gravitation. The former branch of the science is the subject of the present treatise, wherein from certain laws established by experiment under simple circumstances, the course of light under more complex circumstances is computed, and the results applied to the construction of Optical Instruments.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The process by which these and physical laws in general are established experimentally is this. Direct experiments render the law probable; these however are seldom of such minute accuracy as to prove the law exactly true: next on supposition of the truth of the law in question, the circumstances of more complex phenomena are computed and when the results of these computations are found in repeated instances of various kinds minutely to agree with observations, we have a very high degree of probability of the strict truth of the law. It is important to observe that of the laws of physical science we have only moral certainty, a certainty arising only from the improbability that an untrue principle should happen successfully to explain a great variety of phenomena. The first law of motion in Dynamics, for example, is made probable by experiments on bodies on the earth; it is proved by the agreement of the motion of the heavenly bodies, calculated on supposition of its truth, with the motions which they are observed to have. On such foundations all the laws of natural philosophy rest. [Excerpt from the book]

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Elementary Treatise on Optics: Containing All the Requisite Propositions Carried to First Approximations; With the Construction of Optical Instruments, for the Use of Junior University Students In the present First Part of Geometrical Optics, the theory of optical instruments will be discussed, by taking the propositions to first approximations only; and in the Second Part the proposi tions will be discussed to second approximations, and the more corrected forms of some of the instruments treated of. This method involves the advantages of a more elementary treatise in the First Part, and a higher one in combining the two Parts.
