A Chapter of Fresnel's Theory of Double Refraction (1879)

A Chapter of Fresnel's Theory of Double Refraction is a book written by William Steadman Aldis in 1879. The book is a comprehensive analysis of the theory of double refraction, which was first introduced by Augustin-Jean Fresnel in the early 19th century. The book covers the basic principles of Fresnel's theory, including the mathematical equations that describe the phenomenon of double refraction. It also provides a detailed explanation of the experimental methods used to study double refraction and the results obtained from these experiments. The book is aimed at students and researchers in the field of optics and is written in a clear and concise style. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in understanding the fundamental principles of double refraction and its applications in modern science and technology.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
