By Henry Coddington

Book Overview

""A Treatise On The Reflection And Refraction Of Light"" is a comprehensive guide to the principles of optics, written by Henry Coddington and first published in 1829. This book is part one of a larger system of optics that Coddington intended to publish, but unfortunately, he passed away before completing it. The book begins with an introduction to the nature of light, followed by chapters on the laws of reflection and refraction. Coddington goes into great detail about the behavior of light when it passes through different materials, such as air, water, and glass. He also discusses the properties of lenses and mirrors and how they can be used to focus and manipulate light. Throughout the book, Coddington provides numerous examples and illustrations to help readers understand the concepts he is discussing. He also includes practical applications of optics, such as the design of telescopes and microscopes. Overall, ""A Treatise On The Reflection And Refraction Of Light"" is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the science of optics. It provides a thorough explanation of the principles of light and how they can be applied to real-world situations.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
