The most complete and lucid nonmathematical study of light available. Chapters are self-contained, making the book flexible and easy to read.

Includes experiments that can be carried out with simple equipment. Chapters contain optional advanced sections, and appendixes review the mathematics for quantitative aspects. Illustrated, including a four-color insert.
