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. 1873 Excerpt: ...would indicate, be held an open question whether the curvature of the ray would approach towards zero, or whether it would approach towards a maximum, or generally what might be the condition as to curvature or straightness of the ray, as the ray comes to be level. The author proposed the question in 1803 to Professor Purser, of Queen's College, Belfast; and Prof. Purser, on the moment, made out nn analytical investigation which depended on the proportionality of the sine of the angle of incidence to the sine of the angle of refraction holding good for infinitely thin lamina? differing infinitely little in density, and holding good to the extreme case in which the ray becomes parallel to the lamina?. This investigation appeared to the author of tho present paper to be consistent with all physical conditions; and he regarded it as an hypothesis likely to be fully confirmed by experimental investigations, if at any time experiments bearing on the subject should be found practicable. From direct experiments, however, on the curvature of a ray of light in the atmosphere, no accurate results are to be hoped for, on account of the great and constantly varying disturbances to which the ray is subject, through changes in the distribution of heat and moisture in the air, and movements of its parts among one another, and other varying influences. Prof. Purser's investigation, which from the first has been deemed by the author of the present paper to be of much interest and value, was to the following effect, the question being: --To find whether a ray of light passing infinitely nearly horizontally through the atmosphere will be bent with a finite curvature, or not bent at all; and whether the curvaturc approaches to a maximum or to a minimum as Hie direction of the r...
