Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Traite de Physique Experimentale Et Mathematique, Vol. 4
Dm s tous les phenomenes que nous avons jusqu'a present consideres l'epaisseur des corps qui agissaient sur la lumiere pour la refracter la disperser ou la re?echir etait comme infinie comparativement a la distance a laquelle cette action s'etendait d'une maniere sensible. La refraction des rayons par exemple ne se serait pas faite sous un angle plus cousi derable en se servant de prisnies plus epais; et la re?exion produite sur les surfaces des miroirs metalliques ou des glaces de verre, aurait ete pareillement la meme, quand nous aurions augmente leur epaisseur.
