Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book is a compilation of chapters delving into the science of light. Ranging from the nature of light, through the use of lenses, to colour and spectroscopy, this text covers a wide range of optical principles and explains them in an engaging way. It explores the genesis of light, its manipulation by human ingenuity in devices such as telescopes and cameras, and the accompanying insights gained about the universe. The author sheds light on optical aberrations and their correction, as well as the fascinating phenomena of fluorescence and phosphorescence. It also introduces X-rays and the then-novel concept of radioactivity. The book concludes with a discussion of illumination and vision, investigating how light interacts with the human eye and the persistence of vision. This comprehensive and accessible guide is a valuable resource for understanding the science of light, its applications, and its profound impact on our understanding of the world.
