Introduction to Light

The best and simplest to the point descriptions in this subject. Useful for every one Optician, Science students and clinical optics students.

Great book, spurned a renewed interest in physics, and you don't need to be a physicist to understand it !

Perfecto

I teach physics to high school and middle school teachers, and came across this book while looking for good discussions and illustrations of the formation of rainbows. The author has taught optics to art majors for many years and the style of the text, rich with clear verbal descriptions, simple diagrams, and occasional asides relating to art, reflects his experience communicating with non-science majors. I recommend the book to any student of physics or optics who wants to gain a more intuitive understanding of basic concepts. Since the publisher has not enabled the search function, I will list the table of contents: 1. Early ideas of light; 2. The classical theories; 3. Modern theories; 4. Geometrical optics; 5. Polarization; 6. Lasers; 7. Holography; 8. The eye; 9. Seeing; 10. Light and color in nature; 11. Color science; Appendix A: Lens and Mirror equations; Appendix B: Snell's Law; Appendix C: Scientific notation. Index.

Its a very good book.
