Description
invented, how it took twenty centuries to understand the anatomy of human vision, and how difficult it was t o discover the polarization of light. To make the historical and the physical aspects of the book more convincing, the authors have introduced a number of problems and their detailed solutions, geometrical constructions, and optical diagrams of some instruments and devices. No doubt, the reader will get a better understanding of some excerpts from the classics of physical optics (for example, Newton's "Optics" or Huygens' "Treatise on Light") after they have been illustrated with the help of diagrams, constructions and concrete problems. Thus, as he explores the world of refracted rays, the reader will be able to familiarize himself not only with the physics of the topics being considered but also with the evolution of some of the concepts of physics and their practical applications to problems, constructions and optical schemes. It is the authors' hope that this journey will be both instructive and enjoyable. This book was first published in English in 1984 by Mir in the Science for Everyone series.
