Synopsis
Explore the practical side of advanced optics, from light sources to precise measurements.
This guide distills hands-on techniques for studying light with spectroscopes, diffraction gratings, and interferometer-ready surfaces. Learn how to create reliable light for experiments and how to prepare optical coatings with care and cleanliness.
Written with clear steps and setup tips, the book explains how to observe spectra, adjust gratings, and measure dispersion. It also covers the preparation of optical surfaces, silvering methods, and the care needed to achieve sharp, reproducible results in laboratory work.
- How to produce and control light sources, including sunlight, sodium, cadmium, and mercury lamps.
- Techniques for aligning and using gratings to observe spectra and determine dispersion and resolving power.
- Practical instructions for preparing and silvering optical surfaces with emphasis on cleanliness.
- Guidance on interpreting wave-length data and understanding the relationship between grating spacing, order, and resolution.
Ideal for readers building or studying optical instruments and for those seeking concrete, experiment-ready guidance on advanced optics.

Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a guide to advanced optics that teaches methods of measuring light waves based on the phenomena of interference. With roots in the work of physicists such as Albert Michelson, this book imparts the experience of the author in presenting optical theory to students at the University of Chicago. Aimed at advanced students of physics, this book begins with a discussion of interference and diffraction, then explains how to determine the resolving power of a spectrometer. The book also covers total reflection, the diffraction grating, and the spectroscopy of light. Understand the development of optical theory, from the work of early greats like Huygens to the ideas of Einstein. By presenting both the theoretical ideas and the practical methods used to explore them, this book provides a unique grounding for the understanding of the nature of light. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781332058402_0
