Download or read book The Optics of Life written by Sonke Johnsen and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2012-01-19 with total page 357 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Optics--a field of physics focusing on the study of light--is also central to many areas of biology, including vision, ecology, botany, animal behavior, neurobiology, and molecular biology. The Optics of Life introduces the fundamentals of optics to biologists and nonphysicists, giving them the tools they need to successfully incorporate optical measurements and principles into their research. Sönke Johnsen starts with the basics, describing the properties of light and the units and geometry of measurement. He then explores how light is created and propagates and how it interacts with matter, covering topics such as absorption, scattering, fluorescence, and polarization. Johnsen also provides a tutorial on how to measure light as well as an informative discussion of quantum mechanics. The Optics of Life features a host of examples drawn from nature and everyday life, and several appendixes that offer further practical guidance for researchers. This concise book uses a minimum of equations and jargon, explaining the basic physics of light in a succinct and lively manner. It is the essential primer for working biologists and for anyone seeking an accessible introduction to optics. Some images inside the book are unavailable due to digital copyright restrictions.

Book excerpt: "The past two decades have seen significant innovation in teaching methods for science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields. This innovation has been driven by development of new educational technologies and methods that were accelerated in 2020 and 2021 by the explosion of remote teaching due to COVID-19. The teaching of optics, being a highly specialized STEM field, has much in common with other areas, but has its own unique challenges. This volume explores individual experiences with the development of methods and their application to the teaching of optics, especially in higher education. The volume is dedicated to the memory of Professor John Greivenkamp, who passed away in early 2022 and was among the best known and most passionate educators of optics in the world."--
