Photography of Diffraction and Polarisation Effects

Abstract

IT was natural that such a subject as physical optics should call forth ihe best skill of mechanicians, and science owes a debt to their beautiful instruments; but the very excellence of these has perhaps filled the worker with too much awe and made him feel that wave interference can only be observed in a great laboratory. The present object is to give details of simple arrangements which enable all such phenomena to be seen and photographed.
