The Optics by Ibn al-Haytham, perhaps the greatest mathematician and physicist of the medieval Arabic/Islamic world, set the scene for the entire development of the science of optics both within the Islamicate realm and subsequently in the Western world. This new English translation of Books IV-V, which is a study of reflection and refraction of light and of vision produced by reflected and refracted rays, is presented with an introduction and critical analysis.
