Classical and physical optics encompass the study of light both as rays and as waves. In the geometric regime, light is treated as straight-line propagation subject to reflection and refraction at ...
Except for our treatment of polarization (which is a fundamental vectorial property of electromagnetic waves), we have regarded the propagation of light in geometrical terms. Hence we have treated ...
THIS is the first instalment of a work on optics arranged on a somewhat novel plan. The volume treats mainly of the propagation of light in homogeneous media, isotropic or crystalline, and of the laws ...
