Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Miscellaneous Papers Connected With Physical Science It is well known that when a ray of light is incident upon certain crystals, such as Iceland spar and quartz, it is in general divided into two pencils, of which one is refracted according to the known law of the sines, while the direction of the other is determined by a new and extraordinary law, first assigned by Huygens. These laws were long supposed to apply to all doubly-refracting substances; and it was not until the subject was examined by the ablest advocate of the undulatory theory, that the problem of double refraction was solved in all its generality. Setting out from the hypothesis, that the elasticity of the vibrating medium within the crystal is unequal in three rectangular directions, Fresnel has shown that the surface of the wave is not, in general, either a sphere or spheroid, as in the Huygenian law, but a surface of the fourth order, consisting of two sheets; and that the directions of the two refracted rays are determined by tangent planes drawn to these surfaces under known conditions. Such crystals have, in general, two optic axes, and are thence denominated biaxal. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2013-03-07 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An analysis of the optical revolution in the context of early 19th century Britain. Far from merely involving the replacement of one optical theory by another, the revolution also involved substantial changes in instruments and the practices that surrounded them. People's judgements about classification, explanation and evaluation were affected by the way they used such optical instruments as spectroscopes, telescopes, polarisers, photometers, gratings, prisms and apertures. There were two instrumental traditions in this historical period, each of which nurtured a body of practice that exemplified how optical instruments should be operated, and especially how the eye should be used. These traditions functioned just like paradigms, shaping perspectives and even world views. Readership: Scholars and graduate students in the history of science, history of instrument, philosophy of science and science studies. Can also be used as a textbook in graduate courses on 19th century physics.
