refraction light (4 Ergebnisse)

(Berlin: Haude & Spener, 1756) 4to. No wrappers as extracted from 'Mémoires de l'Academie Royale des Sciences et Belles Lettres', Bd. X, pp. 131-172 a. 1 engraved plate. A main paper on atmospheric refraction, and Euler's earliest on the subject. He treats the subject mathematically and relates refraction to the density of the air, given the relevant formulas. - Enestroem E 219.

Paris, Crochard, 1819. Contemp. hcloth. Gilt lettering to spine. In "Annales de Chimie et de Physique", Tome XXI, 2. Series. 448 pp. a. 1 engraved plates. (Entire volume offered). Fresnel's papers. pp. 225-241, textillustr. and pp. 260-263. Internally fine. Both papers first appearances. Fresnel explains the phenomena of refraction and the refraction law in terms of his new undulatory theory of light and his postulate of the transversal motion of light.Also with Lagrange paper "Surla Théorie de la lumière d'Huygens", pp. 241-246.

(Berlin, Haude et Spener, 1758). 4to. No wrappers as issued in "Memoires de l'Academie Royale des Sciences et Belles Lettres". tome XI, 1756 pp. 235-266 and 1 folded engraved plate. Clean and fine. First edition. In this memoir Euler records different experiments and their mathematical treatment with light refraction in liquids to follow up his own wave theory of light-refractions already put forward in 1746. - Enestrom: 234.
