Abstract
THIS book gives a somewhat popular and non-mathematical survey of the theories of light and the phenomena of radiation. It embraces a very wide range of phenomena, including, for example, the colour of the night sky, the pressure of light and its cosmic importance, and the behaviour of a ray of light passing through a gravitational field. The final chapter deals with the ether and is very well written; the more difficult experiments associated with the ether are described in an appendix.
