Description
Optics and Optical Instruments An Introduction with Special Reference to Practical Applications by Benjamin King Johnson is a comprehensive guide to understanding optical principles through hands-on experiments. This book provides detailed diagrams and explanations of working models for telescopes, microscopes, photographic lenses, and optical projection systems, allowing readers to explore the effects of changing focal length, lens type, and other variables. The author, an expert in optics, illustrates key concepts such as reflection and refraction of light, and demonstrates how to set up simple models of the human eye to illustrate common vision conditions. A final chapter covers the production of optical glass, including grinding, polishing, and testing processes. The book also includes practical advice on cleaning glass surfaces and working with photographic materials. With its focus on practical applications and elementary mathematics, this book is ideal for students and beginners in optics looking to gain a deeper understanding of the subject.
