Évaluation du vendeur 5 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is an extensive exploration of the history and science of terrestrial refraction, beginning with early observations of the phenomenon in water and extending through to the development of advanced refraction models in the 17th century. The author examines the work of key figures in the field, including Clemonedes, Archimedes, Ptolemy, Snell, and Descartes, highlighting their contributions to our understanding of refraction. Beyond its historical account, this book also delves into the complex physics of atmospheric refraction, exploring the relationship between refractive index and atmospheric conditions. It discusses the impact of temperature, pressure, and moisture on the path of light, and examines how these factors affect the accuracy of astronomical observations. The author presents a range of mathematical models and equations that have been developed to describe and predict the effects of refraction, providing readers with a comprehensive understanding of the subject. By combining historical context with scientific analysis, this book offers a unique and in-depth examination of terrestrial refraction. It not only traces the evolution of scientific thought on the subject but also provides a valuable resource for astronomers, meteorologists, and anyone interested in the fascinating interplay between light and the atmosphere. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
