Still a useful technical book of 478 pp, 328 bw illustrations. “This book is intended for students who have been through a first year’s physics course and who are proceeding further with the study of light. It differs from other books on light by a more systematic treatment, also by dealing with the full scope of the subject and including the results of recent investigations. Of the 328 figures more than 270 have been specially drawn for the book.”- Divided into 4 parts: Geometrical Optics; Physical Optics; Spectroscopy and Photometry; and Mathematical Theory.
