He remarked for the hundredth time, how That which they had constantly to contend against in the teaching of science in this country was, that many teachers had no conception of that distinc tion for they thought it quite sufficient to be able to repeat a number of scientific propositions and to get their pupils to repeat them as accurately as they themselves did The teacher should be instructed that his business in teaching was to convey clear and vivid impressions of the body of facts upon which the conclusions drawn from those facts were based To do this in some degree for one branch of Physics is the sole object of this unpretending little work; which hopes to be rather a handbook, companion.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fundamentals of light and color, aiming to provide a practical understanding of the phenomena that shape our visual world. The author takes a hands-on approach, guiding readers through a series of experiments that demonstrate the laws of reflection and refraction, the principles of image formation, and the nature of color itself. Through these experiments, readers gain insights into the behavior of light and the way it interacts with matter. The book explores the broader implications of these principles, including their applications in optical instruments and their significance in understanding the universe around us. By unraveling the mysteries of light and color, the author illuminates the profound role they play in our perception and comprehension of the world.
