Excerpt from A Chapter on Fresnel's Theory of Double Refraction
This Second Edition is an almost verbatim reprint of the first. It was the author's intention to incorporate this chapter in a larger work on the Wave Theory of Light. Unexpected hindrances have delayed the pro gress of this work beyond his expectation, and this reprint is therefore issued to satisfy the demand of present students.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book takes a deep dive into Fresnel's Theory of Double Refraction, a groundbreaking theory that explains how light behaves in certain materials. It explores the topic by assuming that the particles of ether are arranged in a stable equilibrium and then investigating the forces on a displaced particle. The author presents the idea that a series of vibrations will be propagated through the medium, with the velocity of propagation being connected to the constant "a" and the wave length by the simple relation v = a/? The book goes on to discuss wave surfaces, ray velocities, and the directions of vibration in the corresponding rays. The author concludes by examining the significance of the theory in understanding the phenomena of double refraction and conical refractions, highlighting its importance in the history of optics.
