Beginning with the philosophic and physiological speculation arising from early experiments on light and color perception, he proceeds to a thorough examination of the history of diopterics, including the roles of Huyghens, Galileo, Descartes, the Bernoullis, Kepler, and other scientists.Full descriptions of hundreds of experiments and detailed treatments of theory cover Newton's work with color and dispersion, his concept of Dover Books on PhysicsPrinciples of Physical Optics Physical opticsPhysicsHILCCPhysical Sciences & MathematicsHILCCLight & OpticsHILCCPhysical optics.PhysicsPhysical Sciences & MathematicsLight & Optics535Mach Ernst8504AU-PeELAU-PeELAU-PeELBOOK9911004767703321The Principles of Physical Optics4391018UNINA
