Coherence of Light An intermediate course in optics, this volume explores both experimental and theoretical concepts, offering practical knowledge of geometrical optics that will enhance students' comprehension of any relevant applied science. Its exposition of the concepts of classical optics is presented with a minimum of mathematical detail but presumes some knowledge of calculus, vectors, and complex numbers.Subjects include light as wave motion; superposition of wave motions; electromagnetic waves; interaction of light and matter; velocities and scattering of light; polarized light and dielectric boundarieDover Books on PhysicsPhysical opticsPhysical optics.535Strong John331490AU-PeELAU-PeELAU-PeELBOOK9911006598103321Concepts of Classical Optics4392238UNINA
