Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a compelling exploration of the historical development of optics, the science of vision and light. Beginning with the ancient understanding of light, the author takes readers on a journey through the discoveries of Ptolemy, Bacon, and Kepler, culminating in the groundbreaking work of Newton in the 17th century. Newton's groundbreaking experiments on refraction and the composition of light revolutionized the field, leading to the understanding of the nature of color and the behavior of light in different mediums. The book provides a comprehensive examination of Newton's theories and experiments, with clear explanations of concepts such as the refraction of light, the separation of colors, and the formation of images through lenses and prisms. The author also delves into the broader context of Newton's work, exploring the philosophical and mathematical principles that shaped his thinking. By examining Newton's discoveries in their historical and intellectual context, the book offers a rich understanding of the development of optics and its foundational role in our comprehension of the physical world.
