This book serves to update knowledge about light with the help of new actual data derived from the easily reproducible experiments described therein. They form the basis of a new theory that interprets up-to-date verifiable information according to the various speeds of the lights involved. In view of recent rapid advances in technology, one may be surprised to learn that at least two of the basic tenets of optics are over a thousand years old, namely the law of reflection, over two millennia old, and the law of reciprocity, which has not changed for over a thousand years. The aim of this treatise is to update our knowledge about light with the help of new actual data derived from easily reproducible experiments. Since light is in space and requires time for its motion, these terms are defined as the basis of actual new observations. Similarly, the second chapter furnishes a brief historical background. The chapter "Light Speed in Media" reports relevant new and old experiments with up-to-date interpretations while "Speeds in Space" examines anew light's general motions in space.

Fundamental Optics

The Various Speeds of Light

By: Harry H. Mark

In view of recent rapid advances in technology, one may be surprised to learn that at least two of the basic tenets of optics are over a thousand years old, namely the law of reflection and the law of reciprocity. This book serves to update existing knowledge about light with the help of new actual data derived from easily reproducible experiments. They form the basis of a new theory which interprets up-to-date, verifiable information according to the various speeds of the lights involved. Since light is in Space and requires Time for its Motion these terms are defined as the basis of the new observations detailed in the book. The second chapter furnishes a brief historical background, which is followed by chapters on optokinetics, dealing with the actual new laboratory data, and optokinematics, examining light’s general motions in space.

Optokinetics

A New System of Optics

By: Harry H. Mark

In view of recent rapid advances in technology some may be surprised to learn that at least two of the basic tenets of optics are over a thousand years old, namely the law of refl ection -- the bouncing of light off water or glass such as a mirror -- which is over two millennia old, and the law of reciprocity -- the bending of light passing the surface of water or glass -- which has not changed for over a thousand years. This volume is a slightly enlarged and amended edition of the author’s treatise by the same name published in 1982. Some of the main points of divergence from the old system are in the treatment of these basic phenomena of refl ection (Newton’s axiom II), reciprocity (Newton’s axiom III) and refraction, interpreted here by the one measurable physical property common to all lights – their motions. Furthermore, Newton’s idea that each color had its own innate property (of refraction or wavelength) is challenged. The aim of this treatise is to update our knowledge about light with the help of new actual data derived from easily reproducible experiments which form the basis of a new theory. The theory interprets this new verifi able information according to the various speeds of the lights involved. An apparent obstacle to this understanding may have been the commonly held belief that the speed of light in moving inertial frames of reference was forever constant, and therefore the evidential basis of this belief is explored in a second section of the book. The last section deals with fundamental philosophical concepts of space and time seen largely from an empirical perspective. Optics is a branch of physics, and whereas physics nowadays is wedded to mathematics the present volume starts with quantitatively perceptible reality as advocated by Ernst Mach or Max Planck: “Physics is an exact science and hence depends upon measurement, while all measurement itself requires sense-perception.”

Inorganic Polymers

By: James E. Mark,Harry R. Allcock,Robert West

Polymer chemistry and technology form one of the major areas of molecular and materials science. This field impinges on nearly every aspect of modern life, from electronics technology, to medicine, to the wide range of fibers, films, elastomers, and structural materials on which everyone depends. Although most of these polymers are organic materials, attention is being focused increasingly toward polymers that contain inorganic elements as well as organic components. The goal of Inorganic Polymers is to provide a broad overview of inorganic polymers in a way that will be useful to both the uninitiated and those already working in this field. There are numerous reasons for being interested in inorganic polymers. One is the simple need to know how structure affects the properties of a polymer, particularly outside the well-plowed area of organic materials. Another is the bridge that inorganic polymers provide between polymer science and ceramics. More and more chemistry is being used in the preparation of ceramics of carefully controlled structure, and inorganic polymers are increasingly important precursor materials in such approaches. This new edition begins with a brief introductory chapter. That is followed with a discussion of the characteristics and characterization of polymers, with examples taken from the field. Other chapters in the book detail the synthesis, reaction chemistry, molecular structure, and uses of polyphosphazenes, polysiloxanes, and polysilanes. The coverage in the second edition has been updated and expanded significantly to cover advances and interesting trends since the first edition appeared. Three new chapters have been added, focusing on ferrocene-based polymers, other phosphorous-containing polymers, and boron-containing polymers; inorganic-organic hybrid composites; and preceramic inorganic polymers.

Michael Polanyi

A Critical Exposition

By: Harry Prosch

Michael Polanyi was an eminent physical chemist, economist, and philosopher. This book explains how the many diverse topics that concerned him belong together as essential elements in his effort to play physician to "the sickness of the modern mind." Using both published and unpublished writings, Prosch critically evaluates Polanyi's efforts and examines the value of his work as philosophy. The book contains a complete bibliography of Polanyi's humanistic publications and all of his earlier works.
