This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1910 edition. Excerpt: ...and connect b and the point of tangency o. Then bo is the ordinary ray. Since the optic axis coincides with bi, the intersection of the plane of the paper with the wave surface of the extraordinary ray is the ellipse tangent to the circle at t. To find the direction of the extraordinary ray, draw from f the line fe tangent to the ellipse, and connect b and the point of tangency e. Then be is the extraordinary ray. The new wave fronts are fo and/e. As a second example, let the optic axis be perpendicular to the plane of the figure, and therefore to the plane of incidence. The intersections of the plane of the diagram with the two wave surfaces are then both circles (Fig. 216). From / draw tangents to both circles, and the lines bo and be, drawn from b to the points of tangency, are the directions of the ordinary and the extraordinary ray respectively. The new wave fronts are fo and fe. This is the construction for the greatest divergence of the two refracted rays. II. POLARIZATION BY REFLECTION 332. Plane Polarized Light.--A ray of common light has on all sides the same peculiarities. When a pencil of common light is received on a plane mirror, it is reflected, in whatever direction the plane of incidence may pass through the pencil. But there is a peculiar modification of light which has not the same properties on all sides; this asymmetry about the line of propagation is known as polarization, and light having this modification of asymmetry is called polarized light. The term polarization was introduced by Malus in 1811. Malus discovered that light reflected at a particular angle from plane glass does not possess symmetrical properties of reflection with respect to its direction of transmission. The important discovery of Malus made it...
