Publisher's Synopsis
The Propagation Of Disturbances In Dispersive Media is a book written by T. H. Havelock in 1914. The book is a comprehensive study of the propagation of disturbances in dispersive media, which are materials that exhibit different speeds of propagation for different wavelengths of light. Havelock explores the properties of dispersive media and the mathematical equations that govern their behavior. He also discusses the physical phenomena that arise from the propagation of disturbances in these materials, such as diffraction and interference. The book is aimed at advanced students and researchers in the field of physics and is considered a classic in the study of dispersive media. Havelock's work is still relevant today, and the book remains an important reference for those studying the behavior of light and other waves in materials with varying refractive indices.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
