Sinossi
Explore how light dances with molecules and how this shapes what we see through refraction, scattering, and diffraction. This classic work connects the fundamental structure of matter with the way light propagates in gases, liquids, and solids. It explains why light loses intensity as it travels and how molecular motion and organization influence the color and clarity of the sky, seas, and materials.
- Understand the idea that molecules act as tiny secondary sources of radiation and how their arrangement affects scattered light.
- Learn how the attenuation and scattering of light relate to refractive index, density, and temperature.
- See how polarisation behaves in liquids versus gases and what that reveals about molecular orientation.
- Hear how these experiments sit at the crossroads of classical and quantum theories of light, and what that means for our view of light itself.
Ideal for readers of physics and chemistry who want a clear, historical, yet practical account of light and matter. This edition helps nonfiction readers grasp how modern ideas about diffraction, scattering, and the quantum view of light emerged from careful observation and calculation.

Valutazione del venditore 4 su 5 stelle
Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book concerns itself with the behavior of light as it interacts with the world, looking specifically at how certain substances diffract the material. The author begins by establishing the background for the research, citing Lord Rayleigh's contributions to the field and the ongoing discourse surrounding his work. A particular focus of the book is on the differences between the scattering of light by gases versus the scattering by denser substances such as liquids and solids. The author also introduces the idea that not all light scattering is random and that it is in fact impacted by the kinetic activity and arrangement of molecules in various media. Overall, this book is a deep dive into the understanding of the physical world around us and the ways in which matter and light communicate. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
