Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book concerns the principles of optics, particularly in relation to the phenomenon of vision. The author presents a detailed investigation into the optical illusion of the rising moon, which has fascinated people for centuries. Using mathematical demonstration, the author asserts that the increase in the size of the moon on the horizon is due to a property of the crystalline lens in the eye, which converges rays of light to a focus. The book also examines a similar optical phenomenon that occurs when terrestrial objects are viewed through fog, leading to their apparent enlargement. The author's insights and analysis provide a valuable contribution to our understanding of how we perceive the world around us through the lens of our own biology.
