A. INTBODUCTOBY NOTE Anyone who has not used the methods of measurement which are based upon the interference of light waves will find it difficult to appreciate the high degree of accuracy which can thereby be attained. That these methods are not more commonly used seems to be due in large measure to the fact that they have hitherto not received adequate treatment in the texts which are in general use in physical laboratories. For this reason this Manual of Advanced Optics, in which these methods are for the first time presented in text-book form to students of physics, is very timely, and should prove a valuable aid in making these very practical and useful optical methods familiar to all who may at any time find it necessary to make measurements of great pre cision It is also hoped that the book will serve to promote interest in the general study of experimental optics. Those who desire to enter into optical investigation can not get a better foun dation for future work than by studying the optical theories here presented, and performing the experiments described. A. A. MlCHELSOST. THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO, November 20, 1902. PEEFACE That the practical study of optics has been somewhat crowded out of physical laboratories by the demands of electricity is attested by the fact that there have already been published many excellent manuals of the latter branch of science, whereas a prac tical treatise on optics has not yetappeared. To be sure, the theory of optics needs no better treatment than it has received at the hands of Mascart, Drude, Bassett, Preston, or of the authors of the inkelmanns ffandbuch tier PhysiL But from what book can the student find out how to determine, for example, that most important constant of the spectrometer, the resolving power Or where can he learn to study practically the methods of using the phenomena of interference for exact measurements This small manual is an attempt to meet the needs of the more advanced students of optics. It has been written primarily for the use of the authors classes in the University of Chicago, and it covers the work done by them during three months of their senior year. It is hoped, however, that it will be found useful at other universities and will serve as a stimulus to a more extensive study of this most fascinating branch of science. Every chapter begins with a brief discussion of the theory of the experiments which follow. In this discussion the attempt has been made to avoid as much as possible the use of mathematics to present rather the physical ideas involved, and to use those ideas in building up a concrete conception of the phenomena with which we are dealing. This has often resulted in a lack of rigor of demonstration, e. g., in the case of the grating, In all such cases references have been added so that those who wish the com plete and rigorous demonstration can satisfy themselves of the cor-5 U PREFACE rectnees of the conclusions. This course 1ms been followed because the author believes that clear conceptions of fundamental ideas are absolutely indispensable to the physicist, and that the mathematical discussion, though oftenvery elegant and conve nient, adds nothing essential to these conceptions, but tends, rather, if used too freely, to cause one to forget the real essence of the subject. It is hoped that the descriptions of the manipulations are not so detailed as to reduce the student to a mere mechanical copyist. He should not be allowed to forget that there may be other methods of adjustment and manipulation which may be better than those suggested. The numerical examples are all taken from the note-books of the students who have taken the course... MANUAL OF ADVANCED OPTICS BY 0.
