Synopsis

Optics Without Mathematics is a book written by Thomas William Webb in 1883. The book is a comprehensive guide to the principles of optics, but it is written in a way that is accessible to readers who do not have a strong background in mathematics. The book covers a wide range of topics, including the nature of light, the behavior of light in different media, the properties of lenses and mirrors, and the principles of optical instruments such as telescopes and microscopes. The author uses clear and concise language, and provides numerous illustrations and diagrams to help readers understand the concepts being presented. This book is an excellent resource for anyone interested in optics, whether they are a student, a professional, or simply a curious reader.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Optics. Optics means the knowledge of the nature and properties of Light. It is a very difficult subject in its full extent, and requires a deep knowledge of mathematics. But much that is not only very useful but very interesting is within the reach of any one who will take a little pains ;and I think I can promise him that he will not be disappointed. There is never any disappointment in the reverent study of the great works of GOD. And what was His first recorded work? He said, Let there be Light! And well might He thus open His wonderful and beautiful creation. We are so accustomed to the blessing of Light that we are scarcely able to value it as we ought. But let us try to think what our condition would be were light to be withdrawn from us were the sun to be darkened in the midst of heaven, and every artificial source of light to fail.
