Publisher's Synopsis
Rudiments Of Refraction, written by Clayton Adelbert Button and first published in 1911, is a comprehensive guide to the principles and applications of refraction. Refraction is the bending of light as it passes through a medium (such as air, water, or glass), and is the basis for many optical technologies, including lenses, telescopes, and microscopes. The book begins with a detailed explanation of the fundamental principles of refraction, including Snell's Law and the index of refraction. It then goes on to explore the properties of lenses and mirrors, and how they can be used to manipulate light. The latter half of the book delves deeper into the practical applications of refraction, including the design and construction of lenses, telescopes, and microscopes. The author also discusses the use of refraction in photography, astronomy, and other fields. Throughout the book, Button provides numerous diagrams and illustrations to aid in understanding the concepts and techniques discussed. The writing is clear and concise, making it accessible to both students and professionals in the field of optics. Overall, Rudiments Of Refraction is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the science of light and its applications in technology and industry.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
