About the Book

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1830 Excerpt: ... the air in the direction of c, but meeting the water, is refracted in the direction of o; then falling upon the glass, it is again refracted in the direction of p, nearly parallel with the perpendicular line d. Explain fig. 120, and show how the ray is refracted in passing into and out of the water. Explain fig. 121, and state the reason why the shilling seems to be raised up by pouring in the water. What is a medium? In what direction must a ray of light pass towards the medium to be refracted? Will a ray falling perpendicularly on a medium be refracted? Explain tig. 122, and show how the ray e is refracted. In all cases where the ray passes out of a rarer into a denser medium, it is refracted towards a perpendicular line, raised from the surface of the denser medium, and so, when it passes out of a denser, into a rarer medium, it is refracted from the same perpendicular. Let the medium b, fig. 123, be glass, and the medium c, water. The ray a, as it falls upon the medium b, is refracted towards the perpendicular line e, d; but when it enters the water, whose refractive power is less than that of glass, it is not bent so near the perpendicular as before, and hence it is refracted/rom instead of towards the perpendicular line, and approaches the original direction of the ray a, g, when passing through the air. The cause of refraction appears to be the power of attraction, which the denser medium exerts on the passing ray; and in all cases the attracting force acts in the direction of a perpendicular to the refracting surface. The refraction of the rays of light, as they fall upon the surface of the water, is the reason why a straight rod, with one end in the water and the other end rising above it, appears to be broken, or bent, and also to be shortened.
