Notes of a Course of Nine Lectures on Light: Delivered at the Royal Institution of Great Britain, April 8 June 3, 1869 (Classic Reprint) - Hardcover
Synopsis
A classic popular science work that explains the nature of light through experiments and visible phenomena.
It guides readers from white light and color mixing to the clues hidden in prisms, spectra, and the eye itself. The book also covers historical ideas about the ether and the undulatory theory, presenting both the evidence and the scientific debates of the era in clear, accessible language.
- Learn how colors combine and separate, and why some colors disappear or appear when light is analyzed or synthesized.
- Explore chromatic aberration, achromatic lenses, and how the eye perceives color, along with the limits of optical devices.
- See how spectra reveal the true identity of elements and how scientists test theories with practical experiments.
- Discover the historical development of light theory, from Newton to contemporary thinkers, and how new ideas stand up to evidence.
