Synopsis

""An Investigation of Terrestrial Refraction"" is a scientific book written by George Edward King in 1902. The book explores the phenomenon of atmospheric refraction, which causes the apparent displacement of celestial objects when viewed from the Earth's surface. King investigates the different factors that affect terrestrial refraction, including temperature, pressure, and humidity. He also discusses the use of refraction correction in astronomical observations and the challenges faced by navigators and surveyors in accurately measuring distances and angles. The book includes numerous illustrations and mathematical equations to support King's research and findings. ""An Investigation of Terrestrial Refraction"" is a valuable resource for astronomers, geographers, and anyone interested in the physics of light and optics.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
