Page 32 - It may also be defined as the sine of the angle of incidence divided by the sine of the angle of refraction, as light passes from air into the substance.
Page 83 - Tt or the magnification of the telescope is obtained by dividing the focal length of the objective by the focal length of the eyepiece.
Page 71 - In addition to its distance from the nodal point the size of the retinal image depends upon the size of the object and its distance from the eye.
Page 116 - ... (Fig. 13-22). Of these images, one is bright and upright; it is formed by the anterior surface of the cornea which acts as a convex mirror. A larger but dimmer upright image is formed by the anterior surface of the lens. The third image is inverted, bright and smaller than the others; it is formed by the posterior surface of the lens which acts as a concave mirror. If the positions of the images are noted while the subject gazes at a distant point, and he then accommodates for near vision, the...

Page 6 - X io~21 that of water at 4°C., or equal to that of our atmosphere at a height of 210 miles — a density vastly greater than that of the same atmosphere in the interstellar spaces.
Page 11 - I = v/n, or v = nl; (1) that is, wave length is equal to velocity divided by the number of vibrations per second, or velocity is equal to the number of vibrations per second times the wave length.
Page 207 - Beginning at the unit figure or decimal point, point off the number into periods of two figures each.
Page 52 - The incident and reflected ray are both in the same plane, which is perpendicular to the reflecting surface. The following are the names of the principal parts of a sextant : In fig.
