The volume also having the notable rapports and notes by Arago Biot Ampere exhibiting the famous controversy over the subject."This concept of transverse waves met with the greatest hostility from the scientists of the day who could not imagine an extremely fluid and rarified ether which at the same time possessed the mechanical properties of a rigid body. Even Arago admitted that he could not follow the exuberant engineer in his ideas. But Fresnel was convinced that at last he had the key to many mysteries and with his model of waves he gave a full clarification of the phenomena of polarization. With insuperable precision he explained a long series of extremely complicated experiments such as those of chromatic polarization that Arago himself had discovered by chance in 1811 and which the followers of Newton could not explain in spite of all their efforts. Following this line Fresnel reached the synthesis which is his masterpiece.we must recall the final interpretation that he gave of the famous phenomenon of partial reflection by transparent surfaces that simple phenomenon which until then had puzzled Grimaldi Newton and Huygens and which in Malus's experiments had unexpectedly acquired a special importencee as it had been compared to the great mystery of double refraction."Ronchi "The Nature of Light" p. 255 ff. </em> hardcover

Magie. Source Book in Physics gives extracts of this paper and a later paper under the head: Discovery of the interference of light pp.308-15.Young also shows here that diffraction effects can be explained by the interference law."The experimental basis for the wave hypothesis of light as Young formulated it was interference. The fact has already been observed that two trauins of water waves may be so superposed that in certain regions the throughs of one train will lie continuously on the crests of another thereby producing zero disturbance.Destryctive interference is said to occur between the two trains of waves in the former case and constructivee interference in lthe latter. Similarly two sound waves may be so combined as to produce alternate regions of silence and enhanced sound. The phenomenon of interference of which the forgoing are familiar examples is easely comprehensible in the case of combining waves but would be utterly incomprehensible in the case of combining streams of particles. So when Young demonstrated that two beams of light could under properly controlled conditions be made to combine in such a way as to produce alternate regions of darkness and light he was rightly considered to have identified in light a characteristic property of waves."

Ruth Light Braun was born in Brooklyn NY and studied art at Cooper Union. After a period during which she did drawings for the New Yorker and book illustrations she studied for two years with Winold Reiss. She adopted the methods which Reiss used to portray ethnic subjects to doing portraits of Jews in New York. She also did genre scenes of Jew ish life in the city during the 1920s and 1930s and it is likelty that this scene of women cleaning in what may be an office building is one of these. Later she spent time in Palestine but returned to the U.S. after the death of her first husband. She remariied and she and her hisband formed a catering business in Washington DC.

Arago and Fresnel's paper: pp. 288-306. <br/><br/><em>First appearance of this seminal paper in which Arago and Fresnel described the experiments which demonstrated that light vibrates transversely to its direction of forward movement."In a further letter to Arago dated 29 April 1818 Young recurred to the subject of transverse vibrations comparing light to the undulations of a cord agitated by one of its extremities. This letter was shown by Arago to Fresnel who at once saw that it presented the true explanation of the non-interference of beams polarised in perpendicular planes and that the latter effect could even be made the basis of a proof of the correctness of Young's hypothesis; for if the vibration of each beam be supposed resolved into three components one along the ray and the other two at right angles to it it is obvious from the Arago-Fresnel experiment that the components in the direction of the ray must vanish; in other words THAT THE VIBRATIONS WHICH CONSTITUTE LIGHT ARE EXECUTED IN THE WAVE-FRONT."

Brownspots to titlepage and some browspots to the second memoir. <br/><br/><em>First editions of two importent memoirs on polarization and reflexion of light by "the founder of the new optics".The first paper takes on a central role in Fresnel's dealing with polarization in general and specially with chromatioc polarization and the explaining the phenomena that arises when light travels through crystals. The paper was read at the Academy on march 30 was not printed at the time as it disappeared and only turned up many years later around 1845 when it was found in the papers of Fresnel's brother. "On croyait ou Mémoire perdu. Il a été retrouvé dans les papiers de M. Léonor Fresnel frère de l'illustre académicien." Thus the offered paper is here PRINTED FOR THE FIRST TIME AND IN ITS FULL LENGHT.The second paper deals with reflection and explains the different phenomena seen when light is reflected from glassplates having two surfaces parallel or with curvature interference of reflected waves and the measure of their different wavelenghts all explained according to the wave theory of light. The paper offered is for the FIRST TIME PRINTED IN ITS FULL LENGHT as it only appeared in the résumé-form in 1820 "Résumé d'un Mémoire sur la Réflexion de la lumière" Annales de Chimie et de Physique tome 15 pp. 379-386."As it was Fresnel succeeded fully in attaining his explicit goal the establishment of the wave conception of light. Not long after his death scientific opinion definitely shiftedin favor of waves and opened up the pathway leading to the deeper insight of Maxwell. In broad context Fresnel's work can be viewed as the first successfull assault on the theory of imponderables and a major influence on the development of nineteenth-centurty energetics."

186755371København 1867. Contemp. marbled clothbacked boards. Titlelabel with gilt lettering on upper cover. Pp. 26-45. Extracted from "Oversigt over det Kgl. danskeVidenskabernes Selskabs Forhandlinger 1867 Nr. 1". <br/><br/><em>Extremely scarce first edition of the paper in which Lorenz independent of Maxwell stated that light is electromechanical in nature probably inspired by his former teacher H. C. Oersted the discoverer of electromagnetism and professor at the Polytechnic College he aimed at unifying the forces of nature without introducing new physical hypotheses. "The idea that the various forces in nature are merely different manifestations of the one and same force has proved itself more fertile than all physical theories".Most impressive of all Lorenz’ achievements in optics is his electromagnetic theory of light developed in a relatively unknown paper of 1867 two years after Maxwell’s famous paper on the same subject. At that time Lorenz did not know Maxwell’s theory and his own approach was quite different. Lorenz’ electromagnetic theory of light can be described briefly as an interpretation of the light vector as the current density vector in a medium obeying Ohm’s law. This paper contains the fundamental equations for the vector potential and the scalar potential or - for the first time - the corresponding retarded potentials expressed in terms of the current density vector and the electrical charge density. The concept of retarded potentials had already been introduced in an earlier paper by Lorenz in connection with research on the theory of elasticity. He found that the differential equation for the current density vector was the same as his fundamental wave equation for the light vector completed with a term which explains the absorption of light in conducting media and that his theory led to the correct value for the velocity of light."
