Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Theory of Optics It is in precisely these two respects that the Lehrbuch der Optik by Professor Paul Drude (leipzig, 1900) particularly excels. Therefore in making this book, written by one who has contributed so largely to the progress which has been made in Optics within the last ten years, accessible to the English-speaking public, the translators have rendered a very important service to English and American students of Physics.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Theory of Light, Vol. 1 of 3: A Treatise on Physical Optics A special feature of the work is the careful comparison between theory and experiment at every stage. From our standpoint as to the aim of science, such a comparison appears all-important. The one difficulty in this matter has been to get access to the most accurate and recent experimental results; a difficulty arising entirely from the present isolation of the writer. At the ends of the earth there are no great libraries to which to refer, and the procuring of material from 'home' is tedious and uncertain. In dealing with experimental results I have deliberately refrained from entering upon descriptions of the methods of experiment as, in my judgment, quite out of place in such a work as this.

Download or read book Physical Optics Classic Reprint written by Robert W. Wood and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-27 with total page 574 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Physical Optics The present volume was commenced at a time when Preston's Theory of Light was practically the only advanced text book on the subject in English, suitable for general class work. This work, while excellent in every respect, could scarcely be said to represent our present knowledge of the subject. Anomalous dispersion and the relation existing between absorption and dispersion was barely mentioned, and of course the recent remarkable discoveries in the field of magneto-optics were not recorded. In the meantime two very excellent books have appeared, the English translation of Drude's Lehrbuch der Optik, which cannot be surpassed, and Schuster's Theory of Optics which, while extremely interesting and suggestive, omits all mention of the Laws of Radiation, Fluorescence and Phosphorescence, and the whole subject of the "Optics of moving media." In the present volume especial stress has been laid on the experimental side, and it is the authors hope that the perhaps too frequent references to experiments with which he has been more or less directly associated, will not be taken as an indication of a lack of perspective. No pretence at originality in the mathematical treatment is made: the work has been compiled to a great extent from lecture notes, and many plagiarisms doubtless occur. The excellent theoretical treatment, based upon the electro-magnetic theory, given by Drude, has been followed very closely, and it is hoped that this acknowledgment may serve in place of the numerous quotation marks which would otherwise be necessary. Various other standard text-books have been drawn upon freely, especially the very comprehensive work of Verdet. Too much space has perhaps been given to the theory of dispersion, and the incorporation of the somewhat lengthy development of the dispersion formula by elementary methods, based upon the elastic-solid theory, may appear superfluous.

It may seem unnecessary at this late date to discuss the relationship of electromagnetic theory to geometrical Op tics. The content of both fields is well known and everyone knows also that geometrical Optics is the limit for vanishing wave length of electromagnetic theory. Moreover, since Maxwell's theory supersedes the older geometrical optics, presumably, then, geometrical optics could be discarded. The optical industry continues to use it but per haps that is because it is behind the times. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Handbook of Optics written by William Norwood Souter and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-04 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Handbook of Optics: For Students of Ophthalmology The question as to the method of transmission of light has been the subject of much controversy. Leaving aside the speculations of the ancients, the two theories are the Corpuscular or Emission The ory and the Wave Theory. The first supposes a luminous body to give off certain particles, which, striking the eye, produce vision. The wave theory supposes that all space is pervaded by a substance called ether; and that by means of this substance, waves, excited in the luminous body, are transmitted to the eye. While some of the phenomena of light can be explained by either theory, experiments by Huyghens, Young, and Fresnel have rendered the emission theory untenable. While we are forced to the belief that light is propagated in waves, we are ignorant as to the nature of these waves. It was formerly supposed that the ether was a highly elastic body, transmitting vibrations of its particles through space just as a rod of steel, if struck near one end, will convey the vibrations to the other end.
