The Wonders
of Light: An
Exciting New Viewpoint
by Robert Crane
For Astronomers >
An exciting new textbook for beginning physicists and
astronomers alike. Providing a basic foundation, surprising new findings,
and areas of further investigation into the world of propagating electromagnetic
energy.
The purpose of this book is to stir the interests of college students in the study of physics and to show that learning Nature’s Laws can be fun. It is hoped that students will enjoy reading about tweaking the physics establishment as much as the author has enjoyed experimenting for and writing this book. It is also the author’s intent to demonstrate that with a little bit of thought and planning, meaningful experiments can be performed by an individual using simple materials and equipment. For instance, "Is there such an energy as "dark light"?
To further these objectives, the author urges technically adventurous students among the readers to pick and explore one of those experiments described as on-going.
“Fifty years of conscious brooding have brought me no closer to answering.. What are light quanta? Of course every rascal thinks he knows the answer, but he is deluding himself.”
- Einstein, 1951
