The Analytical Theory Of Light

By James Walker

Book Overview

The Analytical Theory of Light is a book written by James Walker and originally published in 1904. The book presents a comprehensive analysis of the properties and behavior of light, including its wave-like and particle-like nature, its interaction with matter, and its propagation through different media. The author uses mathematical equations and scientific principles to explain the phenomena of reflection, refraction, diffraction, interference, and polarization of light. The book also includes discussions on the theories of light developed by famous scientists such as Isaac Newton, Thomas Young, and Augustin-Jean Fresnel. The Analytical Theory of Light is a valuable resource for students and professionals in the fields of physics, optics, and engineering, as well as anyone interested in the science of light.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
