Understanding the nature of light is a fundamental question that has troubled mankind since antiquity. It took a great deal of speculation and study concerning the formation of the rainbow to formulate the right hypotheses to explain the iridescence observed when white light passes through raindrops or pieces of glass. For a long time, ancient philosophers were far more interested in the propagation of the light than in its nature. A History of Spectroscopy retraces the major stages in the growth of the various spectroscopic methods from their origins, as well as the most recent advances and the hopes they raise for future technological progress. With its multidisciplinary aspects, it embodies a masterly and unique effort which has no equivalent in the published literature. The present contribution will be read with profit not only by students embarking on a career in physics in general and in spectroscopy or astrophysics more specifically, but also by students in many other related fields like chemistry, biology, medicine, pharmacy and engineering.
Key Features:
- The most extensive and detailed book on the history of spectroscopy.
- Covers a period of several centuries extending from Newton up to the present day.
- Discusses recent progress in different fields and subfields of physics and more specifically in the domain of the analysis of the light.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
理解光的本質是一個自古以來就困擾人類的基本問題。關於彩虹形成的推測和研究花費了大量的時間，才提出了正確的假設來解釋當白光通過雨滴或玻璃片時所觀察到的虹彩現象。長期以來，古代哲學家對光的傳播比對其本質更感興趣。《光譜學的歷史》回顧了各種光譜學方法從起源到發展的主要階段，以及最近的進展和它們對未來技術進步所帶來的希望。這本書具有多學科的特性，體現了一種獨特而精湛的努力，在已發表的文獻中無可比擬。本書的內容不僅對於那些打算從事物理學（尤其是光譜學或天體物理學）職業的學生有益，也對許多其他相關領域的學生，如化學、生物學、醫學、藥學和工程學等，具有參考價值。
主要特點：
- 最全面且詳細的光譜學歷史書籍。
- 涵蓋了從牛頓時期到現代的幾個世紀的歷史。
- 討論了物理學及其不同領域和子領域的最新進展，特別是在光的分析領域。
