Publisher's Synopsis
Physical Optics, Part II: The Corpuscular Theory of Light, Discussed Mathematically is a book written by Richard Potter that provides a comprehensive discussion of the corpuscular theory of light. This theory, also known as the particle theory of light, suggests that light is composed of particles, rather than waves. The book delves into the mathematical aspects of this theory and provides a detailed analysis of the physical properties of light particles. It also explores the relationship between the corpuscular theory of light and other theories of light, such as wave theory and quantum mechanics. The book is intended for students and researchers in the field of optics, as well as anyone with an interest in the nature of light. It is written in a clear and concise style, with numerous examples and mathematical equations to help readers understand the concepts presented. Overall, Physical Optics, Part II: The Corpuscular Theory of Light, Discussed Mathematically is a valuable resource for anyone looking to deepen their understanding of the physics of light and the various theories that have been proposed to explain its behavior.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
