Articles liés à Manual of Advanced Optics
Présentation de l'éditeur
That the practical study of optics has been somewhat crowded out of physical laboratories by the demands of electricity is attested by the fact that there have already been published many excellent manuals of the latter branch of science, whereas a practical treatise on optics has not yet appeared. To be sure, the theory of optics needs no better treatment than it has received at the hands of Mascart, Drude, Bassett, Preston, or of the authors of the inkelmann sffandbuch tier PhysiL But from what book can the student find out how to determine, for example, that most important constant of the spectrometer, the resolving power? Or where can he learn to study practically the methods of using the phenomena of interference for exact measurements? This small manual is an attempt to meet the needs of the more advanced students of optics. It has been written primarily for the use of the authors classes in the University of Chicago, and it covers the work done by them during three months of their senior year. It is hoped, however, that it will be found useful at other universities and will serve as a stimulus to a more extensive study of this most fascinating branch of science. Every chapter begins with a brief discussion of the theory of the experiments which follow. In this discussion the attempt has been made to avoid as much as possible the use of mathematics to present rather the physical ideas involved, and to use those ideas in building up a concrete conception of the phenomena with which we are dealing. This has often resulted in a lack of rigor of demonstration, e.g.

Présentation de l'éditeur
This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
