Clean and fine. <br/><br/><em>First printing of Foucault's famous experiments on the velocity of light with the description of his improved equipment the rotating mirror. Foucault's method was later developed by Michelson and Morley in their famous experiment in 1887."Foucault’s first experiment carried out in 1850 and written up in full in his doctoral thesis of 1853 was purely comparative; he announced no numerical values until 1862. Then with an improved apparatus he was able to measure precisely the velocity of light in air. This result significantly smaller than Fizeau’s of 1849 changed the accepted value of solar parallax and vindicated the higher value which Le Verrier had calculated from astronomical data. Foucault’s turning-mirror apparatus was the basis for the later determinations of the velocity of light by A. A. Michelson and Simon Newcomb."DSB.Leon Foucault used a similar method to Fizeau. He shone a light to a rotating mirror then it bounced back to a remote fixed mirror and then back to the first rotating mirror. But because the first mirror was rotating the light from the rotating mirror finally bounced back at an angle slightly different from the angle it initially hit the mirror with. By measuring this angle it was possible to measure the speed of the light. Foucault continually increased the accuracy of this method over the years. His final measurement in 1862 determined that light traveled at 299796 Km/s. Magee "A Source Book in Physics" p. 342 ff. and "Source Book in Astronomy" p. 282 ff. </em> unknown

Pp. 337-464. Foucault's paper: pp. 458-462. With titlepage to volume 82. <br/><br/><em>First German edition of the famous paper in which Foucault presented his discovery of the proof of the rotation of the earth by the large pendulum called FOUCAULT'S PENDULUM. It was presented by Arago at the meeting of the Acadey of Scieces on February 3 1851.Since Léon Foucault’s public demonstration of his pendulum experiment it has played a prominent role in physics physics education and the history of science. The Foucault pendulum is a long pendulum suspended high above the ground and carefully set into planar motion. The phenomenon described by Foucault1 concerns the orientation of the plane of oscillation of the pendulum. "The experiment with the pendulum caused great exitement at the time. Heracleides had first suggested twenty-two centuries before that the earth was rotating and Copernicus had renewed the suggestion three centuries before. Since the time of Galileo two and a half centuries before the world of scholarship had not doubted the matter. Nevertheless all evidence as to that rotation had been indirect and not until Foucault's experiment could the earth's rotation actually be said to have been demonstrated rather that deduced."
