Condition: Very good. - Octavo, 10-1/2 inches high by 7-1/8 inches wide. Modern black cloth titled in gilt on the spine. [iv] & 114 pages. There is foxing to the first and last few pages. Very good. First edition.The French physicist Paul-Quentin Desains (1817-1885) distinguished himself at the Lycee Louis-le-Grand in Paris by taking first prize in physics. He made the acquaintance of La Provostaye while attending the Ecole Normale. Accepting a professorship at Caen in 1839, he returned to Paris in 1841 and went on to succeed La Provostaye at the Lycee Condorcet. Desains made many observations on terrestrial magnetism and made significant contributions to physics through his researches on radiant heat which he conducted with La Provostaye. Concluding that radiant heat was similar to light in that it was a disturbance set up in what was then referred to as the ether and was propagated in all directions by transverse waves.…

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book, first published in 1851, is a comprehensive study of sound, divided into six books that comprise topics including the speed of sound in air and different media, wave theory, and music. The book also includes a historical review of the subject, examining research from ancient Greece to the early 19th century. The author was a leading physicist of his era, and this work is considered one of the most important and influential books on acoustics ever written. It provides a remarkable insight into the scientific understanding of sound in the mid-19th century and remains an invaluable resource for anyone interested in the history of science, the nature of sound, and its applications in music and technology. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. …

1st Edition. FIRST EDITION OF PROVOSTAYE & DESAINS PHOTOMETRIC EXPERIMENT & FORMULA FOR CALCULATING THE AMOUNT OF LIGHT TRANSMITTED THROUGH (OR REFLECTED FROM) A PILE OF PLATES. In optics, a set of flat transparent plates mounted at some angle to incident light functions as a simple polarization device. To date, most references that contain an expression for the degree of polarization of a pile of plates utilize the formula of Provostaye and Desains presented in this paper. The formula presented by French thermo-chemists Frédéric Hervé de La Provostaye and Paul Desains assumes an "infinite series of multiple reflections between all surfaces, i.e., multiple reflections within and between plates" (Bennett, Polarisation, 5.16). Provostaye and Desains "found the degree of polarization P of the transmitted rays related to the intensities of the reflected and refracted rays and can be calculated by a formula with refractive index n of the slabs staked m times" (Polarization of Light, About Physics Portal). Their formula utilized the total transmission of the p-polarized component as well as the partial reflection of the s-polarized light. ALSO INCLUDED ARE FIRST EDITIONS OF TWO PAPERS BY SÉNARMONT: (1) "Mémoire sur la conductibilité superficielle des corps cristallisées pour l'électicité de tension" [On the superficial conductibility of crystallized bodies for electricity of tension], pp. 257-278. In this paper, Henri Hureau de Sénarmont established the directional dependence of surface conductivity in crystals. "He discovered this dependence by wrapping a crystal in tinfoil (which had been grounded) and by placing a metal point on the crystal surface at a point where a circular piece of the tinfoil had been cut out; the point was then connected to the positive conductor of an electrostatic machine, and the whole apparatus was placed under the glass bell of an air pump. At reduced pressure he was able to observe, in the dark, circular or elliptical figures of light, depending on the nature of the crystal" (DSB). His research "showed that different phenomena are subject to the symmetry of the crystal form" (Katzir, Piezoelectricity, 84). (2) "Note sur un Nouveau Polariscope" [On a new polariscope], pp. 279-282, Sénarmont describes a plate composed of four quartz prisms with its upper and lower faces normal to the optic axis. His invention "affords a very accurate means of determining the position of the plane of polarization of any source of light which is partially or wholly polarized" (Preston, The Theory of Light, 476). A Sénarmont polariscope suitable for optical maser work has even been constructed. ALSO INCLUDED are papers by Matteucci, Biot, Becquerel, and Pasteur. CONDITION & DETAILS: Paris: Victor Masson.
