18534843Paris: Bachelier 1853. First edition. <p>First edition rare and an exceptionally fine copy of Foucault's doctoral thesis on the speed of light in which he provides a convincing proof for the wave theory of light. Foucault undertook a series of optical experiments using an apparatus of rotating mirrors to determine the velocity of light. In this thesis Foucault gives a detailed account of his experiment illustrating his apparatus and proves that light travels faster in air than in water a decisive argument in favour of the wave theory of light; it was not until 1862 that he was able to determine a numerical value for the speed of light of about 298000 kilometers per second a figure significantly smaller and more accurate than Fizeau's.</p>. Proving the wave theory of light. <p>First edition rare and an exceptionally fine copy of Foucault's doctoral thesis on the speed of light in which he provides a convincing proof for the wave theory of light. In the 1840s Foucault undertook a series of optical experiments using an apparatus of rotating mirrors to determine the velocity of light. Originally developed by Charles Wheatstone to measure the velocity of electricity the rotating mirror apparatus had been proposed as an instrument for the measurement of light in 1838 by Dominique-François Arago who failed in his own attempts to carry out the experiment. Foucault's initial work was carried out in conjunction with the physicist Armand Hippolyte Louis Fizeau 1819-1896; but a personal dispute broke up their partnership in 1847 and the two collaborators became rivals working separately on the same problem using the same technique. Both reached the same conclusion but while Fizeau was the first to obtain in 1849 a precision measurement of the velocity of light Foucault pre-empted him in announcing on 30 April 1850 that light travels faster in air than in water a decisive argument in favour of the wave theory of light which by the mid-nineteenth century had become generally accepted. In his thesis Foucault gives a detailed account of his experiment illustrating his apparatus; it was not until 1862 that he was able to determine a numerical value for the speed of light of about 298000 kilometers per second a figure significantly smaller and more accurate than Fizeau's. Foucault is today best known for the pendulum experiments demonstrating the rotation of the earth which he performed in 1851. Perhaps he considered these experiments to be unsuitable as a thesis topic as the result the rotation of the earth was well known to everyone whereas the results of his air-and-water experiments though expected by most scientists were new.

Although the observation of the Arago spot in 1819 may seem to have settled the matter definitively in favor of Fresnel's wave theory of light various concerns continued to appear to be addressed more satisfactorily by Newton's corpuscular theory .</p> <br /> <p>"In 1834 Charles Wheatstone developed a method of using a rapidly rotating mirror to study transient phenomena and applied this method to measure the velocity of electricity in a wire and the duration of an electric spark 'An Account of Some Experiments to Measure the Velocity of Electricity and the Duration of Electric Light' Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London vol. 124 pp. 583-591. He communicated to François Arago the idea that his method could be adapted to a study of the speed of light. Arago expanded upon Wheatstone's concept in an 1838 publication 'Sur un système d'expériences à l'aide duquel la théorie de l'émission et celle des ondes seront soumises à des épreuves décisives' Comptes rendus hebdomadaires des séances de l'Académie des sciences vol. 7 pp. 954-960 emphasizing the possibility that a test of the relative speed of light in air versus water could be used to distinguish between the particle and wave theories of light" Wikipedia.</p> <br /> <p>"A comparison of this velocity in air and in water would be a clear experimental test between the wave and particle theories of light since the former required light to travel faster in air; the latter in water" DSB.</p> <br /> <p>"In 1845 Arago suggested to Fizeau and Foucault that they attempt to measure the speed of light. Sometime in 1849 however it appears that the two had a falling out and they parted ways pursuing separate means of performing this experiment. In 1848-49 Fizeau used not a rotating mirror but a toothed wheel apparatus to perform an absolute measurement of the speed of light in air .</p> <br /> <p>"In 1850 and in 1862 Léon Foucault made improved determinations of the speed of light substituting a rotating mirror for Fizeau's toothed wheel. The apparatus involves light from a slit S reflecting off a rotating mirror R forming an image of the slit on the distant stationary mirror M which is then reflected back to reform an image of the original slit. If mirror R is stationary then the slit image will reform at S regardless of the mirror's tilt. The situation is different however if R is in rapid rotation. As the rotating mirror R will have moved slightly in the time it takes for the light to bounce from R to M and back the light will be deflected away from the original source by a small angle.</p> <br /> <p>"Guided by similar motivations as his former partner Foucault in 1850 was more interested in settling the particle-versus-wave debate than in determining an accurate absolute value for the speed of light. Foucault measured the differential speed of light through air versus water by inserting a tube filled with water between the rotating mirror and the distant mirror. His experimental results announced shortly before Fizeau announced his results on the same topic were viewed as 'driving the last nail in the coffin' of Newton's corpuscle theory of light when it showed that light travels more slowly through water than through air. Newton had explained refraction as a pull of the medium upon the light implying an increased speed of light in the medium. The corpuscular theory of light went into abeyance completely overshadowed by wave theory. This state of affairs lasted until 1905 when Einstein presented heuristic arguments that under various circumstances such as when considering the photoelectric effect light exhibits behaviors indicative of a particle nature.</p> <br /> <p>"In contrast to his 1850 measurement Foucault's 1862 measurement was aimed at obtaining an accurate absolute value for the speed of light since his concern was to deduce an improved value for the astronomical unit. At the time Foucault was working at the Paris Observatory under Urbain le Verrier. It was le Verrier's belief based on extensive celestial mechanics calculations that the consensus value for the speed of light was perhaps 4% too high. Technical limitations prevented Foucault from separating mirrors R and M by more than about 20 meters. Despite this limited path length Foucault was able to measure the displacement of the slit image less than 1 mm with considerable accuracy. In addition unlike the case with Fizeau's experiment which required gauging the rotation rate of an adjustable-speed toothed wheel he could spin the mirror at a constant chronometrically determined speed. Foucault's measurement confirmed le Verrier's estimate. His 1862 figure for the speed of light 298000 km/s was within 0.6% of the modern value" Wikipedia.</p> <br /> <p>Jean Bernard Léon Foucault 1819-68 "worked in a laboratory set up in his home until following the award of the Cross of the Legion of Honor in 1851 for his pendulum experiment and the docteur ès sciences physiques in 1853 for his thesis comparing the velocity of light in air and water he was given a place as physicist at the Paris observatory by Napoleon III. Further honors followed: the Copley Medal of the Royal Society in 1855 officer of the Legion of Honor and member of the Bureau des Longitudes in 1862 and foreign member of the Royal Society 1864 and the academies of Berlin and St. Petersburg.

As long before as the time of Huygens and Newton it had been suggested that one way of settling the dispute as to whether light was a wave form or a stream of particles was by measuring its velocity in water. According to the wave theory light should slow down in water; according to the particle theory it should speed up. In 1853 showed that the velocity of light was less in water than in air a strong piece of evidence in favor of the wave theory. He presented this work as his doctoral thesis."Asimov. </em> unknown

But light waves because of their transverse vibrations are more complex than sound waves. Light can assume different forms of planes of vibration as well as different intensities. Using the same spectroscopic apparatus as in the preceeding experiment Fizeau and Foucault observed the interaction of two rays produced by passing a single polarized ray through a birefringent crystal. In this case instead of obtaining alternating bands of light and dark they obtained bands of light periodcally polarized in different planes of vibration."DSB V p. 19. </em> unknown

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."
