On Light: First Course, on the Nature of Light, Delivered at Aberdeen in November, 1883 (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
This book explores the nature of light and delves into the debate between the emission theory and the undulatory theory. Tracing the historical development of the subject, the author draws on the work of scientists such as Newton and Huygens to evaluate the relative merits of each theory. Through a clear examination of the phenomena of colors in thin plates, interference, and diffraction, the book demonstrates the progressive shift in scientific consensus towards the undulatory theory. The author argues that the undulatory theory provides a more comprehensive framework for understanding the behavior of light and its interactions with matter.
