Light and Electricity (Classic Reprint): Notes of Two Courses of Lectures Before the Royal Institution of Great Britain: Notes of Two Courses of ... of Great Britain (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Discover the fundamentals of light and electricity through the classics of John Tyndall’s Royal Institution lectures. This edition presents a faithful republishing of two courses, focusing on core principles of optical science and electrical phenomena. Accessible and practical, the material emphasizes repetition of key ideas to build lasting understanding, with clear demonstrations and experiments that frame how light travels, reflects, refracts, and polarizes, alongside the basics of electrical currents and magnetism.
What you’ll encounter
- A thorough walk-through of light’s behavior, including propagation in straight lines, image formation through small openings, shadows, and the inverse-square law.
- Practical exploration of lenses, shadows, and the eye, plus the spectrum, colors, and polarization concepts that illuminate how we see.
- An introduction to electrical science: voltaic electricity, magnetism, electric currents, and foundational electro-chemical ideas.
- Hands-on notes and explanations that connect theory to observable phenomena, suitable for students, educators, and curious readers alike.
You’ll gain a solid framework for understanding light and electricity, with careful explanations that aim to make complex ideas approachable. Ideal for readers seeking foundational science presented in a clear, lecture-style format.
