An intermediate course in optics, this volume explores both experimental and theoretical concepts, offering a practical knowledge of geometrical optics. Its exposition of the concepts of classical optics is presented with a minimum of mathematical detail, and illustrative problems appear throughout the text.
415 figures. 17 tables. 1958 edition.
