Excerpt from Traité d'Optique, Vol. 3
Par la même raison, la lumière naturelle, qui équivaut à deux faisceaux d'égale intensité polarisés à angle droit, doit fournir par diffraction de la lumière partiellement polarisée.
Cette question importante est l'objet principal du Mémoire de Sir G. Stokes sur la théorie dynamique de la diffraction.
Pour expliquer la propagation des vibrations transversales, il est nécessaire de supposer qu'il existe, sur chaque élément du milieu ébranlé, une composante tangentielle de la pression; cette force est mise enjeu par le glissement des couches voisines et proportion nelle à leur déplacement relatif.
