Coherence of Light 330 $a An intermediate course in optics, this volume explores both experimental and theoretical concepts, offering practical knowledge of geometrical optics that will enhance students' comprehension of any relevant applied science. Its exposition of the concepts of classical optics is presented with a minimum of mathematical detail but presumes some knowledge of calculus, vectors, and complex numbers.Subjects include light as wave motion; superposition of wave motions; electromagnetic waves; interaction of light and matter; velocities and scattering of light; polarized light and dielectric boundarie 410 0$aDover Books on Physics 606 $aPhysical optics 615 4$aPhysical optics. 676 $a535 700 $aStrong$b John$0331490 801 0$bAU-PeEL 801 1$bAU-PeEL 801 2$bAU-PeEL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9911006598103321 996 $aConcepts of Classical Optics$94392238 997 $aUNINA
