Description: Rise of the Wave Theory of Light : Optical Theory and Experiment in the Early Nineteenth Century, Paperback by Buchwald, Jed Z., ISBN 0226078868, ISBN-13 9780226078861, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US Buchwald (history of science, U. of Toronto) contends, contrary to general assumptions, that a historical distinction exists between the wave theory's physical and mathematical aspects. His analysis begins in the 1810s, before the wave theory was widely accepted. Much of French optics of this period distinguished between the light particle and the optical ray and achieved a number of striking successes. Revising standard interpretations of the wave theory's acceptance, Buchwald argues that this theory became coherent and entirely new only in the work of French physicist Austin Fresnel.
