Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book introduces the principles of optical science, particularly as they relate to the design and use of optical instruments such as telescopes. It provides an interesting and informative account of the nature of light, which forms the foundation of optical instruments. The volume begins by explaining the basic properties of light, including its rectilinear propagation, velocity, intensity, duration of impressions on the eye, and the supposed force or momentum it possesses. The author then examines the behavior of light as it passes through transparent substances, explaining the principles of refraction and reflection and their applications in the construction of lenses and mirrors. The book also provides a detailed account of the various types of telescopes, their construction, and their uses in astronomical observations. It concludes with a discussion of the importance of light in various natural phenomena and the insights it provides into the universe.
