Excerpt from Crystallography and Practical Crystal Measurement, Vol. 2 of 2
Consequently, the optical part of a crystallographic investigation is of surpassing interest, and if at times the phenomena prove complicated and require most careful study, the results are not only themselves rendered the more valuable thereby, but the experimental means of arriving at them are intrinsically so beautiful as far more than to compensate for all the trouble involved.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores various optical phenomena exhibited by crystals. It sheds light on the study of light, delving into its nature as an electromagnetic wave. The author traces the historical progression of ideas and discoveries, from the emission theory to the electromagnetic theory of light, and discusses the properties of the hypothetical medium, the ether. The book examines the impact of groundbreaking discoveries in the field, including the identification of X-rays and the study of radioactivity. It introduces concepts such as radioactive elements like radium and the emission of alpha and beta particles. Through the analysis of these discoveries, the author emphasizes the profound implications for understanding the nature of light, the structure of atoms, and the broader context of crystallography. The insights provided in this book expand our comprehension of the optical properties of crystals and contribute significantly to the advancement of our knowledge in optics and related fields. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
