Explore the history and science of light interference with a landmark study in spectroscopy This classic work, The Interferometry of Reversed and Non-Reversed Spectra, presents Carl Barus’s detailed experiments on how spectra interact when one component is reversed or rotated. The book combines careful method with thoughtful interpretation, offering a window into early 20th‑century optical research.
The text guides readers through a wide range of interferometric techniques, from setups using single and multiple gratings to methods that compare reversed and non-reversed spectra. It emphasizes practical apparatus, experimental procedures, and the evolving ideas that shaped understanding of how interference fringes arise and shift under different conditions. The discussion also extends to related topics such as the dispersion of air, adiabatic expansion, and other precision measurements that test the limits of the displacement interferometer.
- Learn the basic and advanced ideas behind interference of spectra, including reversed and non-reversed configurations.
- See how different grating arrangements and optical alignments affect fringe patterns.
- Understand how measurements are made, analyzed, and interpreted in early interferometry.
- Discover the historical context and methodological evolution that influenced later work in optics and physics.
Ideal for readers interested in the history of physics, optics, and experimental methods, as well as students seeking a solid introduction to interferometric techniques and their practical challenges.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the interference of light waves as they relate to reversed and non-reversed spectra. In it, the author presents a series of experiments they performed that led to the discovery of a new phenomenon which they termed "the linear phenomenon" or "reversed spectra," where one of the two spectra is rotated 180° with reference to the other on a transverse axis (an axis parallel to the Fraunhofer lines). The author also discusses the broader historical implications of this discovery, including its potential applications in the field of interferometry. Filled with detailed illustrations and in-depth analysis, this book will prove essential reading for anyone interested in the history of optics or the broader field of spectroscopy and its applications.
