onsidering the great influence which this Treatise has exercised inthe development of the Science of Optics, it seems strange that twocenturies should have passed before an English edition of the workappeared. Perhaps the circumstance is due to the mistaken zeal withwhich formerly everything that conflicted with the cherished ideas ofNewton was den...
The majority of those who have written touching the various parts ofOptics have contented themselves with presuming these truths. Butsome, more inquiring, have desired to investigate the origin and thecauses, considering these to be in themselves wonderful effects ofNature. In which they advanced some ingenious things, but not howeversuch that the ...
[Pg 23]Let there be a surface AB; plane and polished, of some metal, glass,or other body, which at first I will consider as perfectly uniform(reserving to myself to deal at the end of this demonstration with theinequalities from which it cannot be exempt), and let a line AC,inclined to AD, represent a portion of a wave of light, the centre ofwhich ...
First, then, if the ethereal matter cannot penetrate transparentbodies at all, their own particles would be able to communicatesuccessively the movement of the waves, the same as do those of theEther, supposing that, like those, they are of a nature to act as aspring. And this is [Pg 29]easy to conceive as regards water and othertransparent liquids...
It is thus that we shall in the first place explain the refractionswhich occur in the air, which extends from here to the clouds andbeyond. The effects of which refractions are very remarkable; for bythem we often see objects which the rotundity of the Earth oughtotherwise to hide; such as Islands, and the tops of mountains when oneis at sea. Becau...
here is brought from Iceland, which is an Island in the North Sea, inthe latitude of 66 degrees, a kind of Crystal or transparent stone,very remarkable for its figure and other qualities, but above all forits strange refractions. The causes of this have seemed to me to beworthy of being carefully investigated, the more so because amongsttransparent...
fter having explained how the properties of reflexion and refractionfollow from what we have supposed concerning the nature of light, andof opaque bodies, and of transparent media, I will here set forth avery easy and natural way of deducing, from the same principles, thetrue figures which serve, either by reflexion or by refraction, tocollect or d...
