Optical Theories: Based on Lectures Delivered Before the Calcutta University (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Excerpt from Optical Theories: Based on Lectures Delivered Before the Calcutta University
Reader in Physics and invited me to deliver a course of lectures to its advanced students on Optical Theories, one of the conditions of the appointment being that the lectures should be published after their delivery. The lectures were actually delivered during the months of February and March, 1912, but pressure of other work has prevented me, till now, from seeing them through the press.
It has been my object in these lectures to trace the develop ment of Optical Theories from the earliest times to the present day. I have tried to understand and help others (so far as I can) to understand the relation between the di ercut theories.
