Synopsis
Optics Without Mathematics is a book written by Thomas William Webb and first published in 1883. The book is an introduction to the science of optics, but it is written in a way that is accessible to those without a strong background in mathematics. The author explains the basic concepts of optics, including the behavior of light, lenses, mirrors, and prisms. He also covers topics such as refraction, reflection, and diffraction. The book is intended for those who are interested in understanding the principles of optics but do not have the mathematical background necessary to fully comprehend more advanced texts. It is a concise and clear introduction to the subject, and is still widely used as a reference today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

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 But let us try to think what our condition would be were light to be withdrawn from us were the sun to be darkened in the midst of heaven, and every artificial source of light to fail.
