Light and Electricity Explained: Lecture notes on optics and electrical science from the Royal Institution courses brings together a classic, reformatted companion to John Tyndall’s teaching.

This edition covers the core ideas of light, its paths, images, and behavior, along with foundational electrical science and magnetism.

The volume presents a concise, student-friendly tour of how light travels in straight lines, how images form through small apertures, and how shadows arise. It surveys the nature of transparent and opaque bodies, discusses reflection and refraction, and introduces the phenomena of polarization and the behavior of crystals. The accompanying electricity sections trace voltaic and electro-magnetic phenomena, the theory of currents, and basic electro-chemistry, all with an eye toward practical understanding and experimental insight.
What you’ll experience

• Clear explanations of light’s path, shadows, and the formation of images
• Accessible coverage of reflection, refraction, and polarization
• A practical introduction to electric currents, magnetism, and electro-chemistry
• Contextual notes tying theory to classic experiments and observations
