Experiments In Physical Optics

by M. Francon, N. Krauzman, J.P. Mathieu, M. May

Overview

Experiments in physical optics for undergraduate and graduate classes. Provides the theoretical basis of each experiment and describes the apparatus required and necessary adjustments. Most of the experiments require only lenses, prisms, mirrors, and polarizers, and can be projected on a lecture screen or viewed by television.
