Optics

Аннотация

This textbook series is billed as the Light and Matter series, but only now, in the fifth of the six volumes, are we ready to focus on light. If you are reading the series in order, then you know that the climax of our study of electricity and magnetism was discovery that light is an electtomagneric wave. Knowing this, however, is not the same as knowing everything about eyes and telescopes. In fact, the full description of light as a wave can be rather cumbersome.
