Book Description
Excerpt from Physical Optics The present volume was commenced at a time when Preston's Theory of Light was practically the only advanced text book on the subject in English, suitable for general class work. This work, while excellent in every respect, could scarcely be said to represent our present knowledge of the subject. Anomalous dispersion and the relation existing between absorption and dispersion was barely mentioned, and of course the recent remarkable discoveries in the field of magneto-optics were not recorded. In the meantime two very excellent books have appeared, the English translation of Drude's Lehrbuch der Optik, which cannot be surpassed, and Schuster's Theory of Optics which, while extremely interesting and suggestive, omits all mention of the Laws of Radiation, Fluorescence and Phosphorescence, and the whole subject of the "Optics of moving media." In the present volume especial stress has been laid on the experimental side, and it is the authors hope that the perhaps too frequent references to experiments with which he has been more or less directly associated, will not be taken as an indication of a lack of perspective. No pretence at originality in the mathematical treatment is made: the work has been compiled to a great extent from lecture notes, and many plagiarisms doubtless occur. The excellent theoretical treatment, based upon the electro-magnetic theory, given by Drude, has been followed very closely, and it is hoped that this acknowledgment may serve in place of the numerous quotation marks which would otherwise be necessary. Various other standard text-books have been drawn upon freely, especially the very comprehensive work of Verdet. Too much space has perhaps been given to the theory of dispersion, and the incorporation of the somewhat lengthy development of the dispersion formula by elementary methods, based upon the elastic-solid theory, may appear superfluous.

Forgotten Books uses state-of-the-art technology to digitally reconstruct the work, preserving the original format whilst repairing imperfections present in the aged copy.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Theory of Light, Vol. 1 of 3: A Treatise on Physical Optics A special feature of the work is the careful comparison between theory and experiment at every stage. From our standpoint as to the aim of science, such a comparison appears all-important. The one difficulty in this matter has been to get access to the most accurate and recent experimental results; a difficulty arising entirely from the present isolation of the writer. At the ends of the earth there are no great libraries to which to refer, and the procuring of material from 'home' is tedious and uncertain. In dealing with experimental results I have deliberately refrained from entering upon descriptions of the methods of experiment as, in my judgment, quite out of place in such a work as this.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Theory of Optics It is in precisely these two respects that the Lehrbuch der Optik by Professor Paul Drude (leipzig, 1900) particularly excels. Therefore in making this book, written by one who has contributed so largely to the progress which has been made in Optics within the last ten years, accessible to the English-speaking public, the translators have rendered a very important service to English and American students of Physics.

Book Description
Excerpt from Researches in Physical Optics, Vol. 2: Resonance Radiation and Resonance Spectra HE researches described in the following pages were made by Professor Wood, in several cases together with collaborators, while he was Ernest Kempton Adams Fellow of Columbia University in 1912 - 1914, and subsequently. In this work, Part II of these Researches in Physical Optics, the important field of investigation opened by the author has been developed in the direction of more detailed study of resonance radiation and resonance spectra. 0 Publication has been delayed from time to time, in order to include new material and, more recently, on account of conditions arising from the war. In the absence in Europe of the author as the volume goes to press, the editors of the series venture to express for the author his-obligation and thanks to his several collaborators and to all who have assisted in his work. To the Astrophysical Journal thanks are due for cuts used in illustrating the fifth paper. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
