Sinopsis

Light and Electricity Explained: Lecture notes on optics and electrical science from the Royal Institution courses brings together a classic, reformatted companion to John Tyndall’s teaching.

This edition covers the core ideas of light, its paths, images, and behavior, along with foundational electrical science and magnetism.

The volume presents a concise, student-friendly tour of how light travels in straight lines, how images form through small apertures, and how shadows arise. It surveys the nature of transparent and opaque bodies, discusses reflection and refraction, and introduces the phenomena of polarization and the behavior of crystals. The accompanying electricity sections trace voltaic and electro-magnetic phenomena, the theory of currents, and basic electro-chemistry, all with an eye toward practical understanding and experimental insight.
What you’ll experience
  • Clear explanations of light’s path, shadows, and the formation of images
  • Accessible coverage of reflection, refraction, and polarization
  • A practical introduction to electric currents, magnetism, and electro-chemistry
  • Contextual notes tying theory to classic experiments and observations
Ideal for readers who want a solid, approachable foundation in optics and electricity, suitable for study, review, or general science enrichment.

Excerpt from Light and Electricity: Notes of Two Courses of Lectures Before the Royal Institution of Great Britain

For the benefit of those who attended his lectures on Light and Electricity at the Royal Institution, Prof. Tyndall prepared with much care a series of Notes, summing up briefly and clearly the leading facts and principles of these sciences. The Notes proved so serviceable to those for whom they were designed, that they were widely sought by students and teachers, and Prof. Tyndall accordingly had them reprinted in two small books. Under the conviction that they will be equally appreciated by instructors and learners in this country, they are here combined and republished in a single volume.

No intelligent teacher or earnest student needs to be reminded of the importance of repetition and recapitulation to give permanence to mental impressions. But it is neither possible nor desirable to retain in the memory the copious details which may be necessary to the first comprehension of a subject.
