Book Description:
|
Intended for anyone with an interest in the visual arts and assuming no prior knowledge of physics, this book presents the science of light that is, the science behind what and how we see. The approach emphasizes phenomena rather than mathematical theory and the joy of discovery rather than the drudgery of derivationsthe opposite of "heavy science." Numerous simple experiments are included.
