Publisher's Synopsis
""The Illumination and Polarization of the Sunlit Sky on Rayleigh Scattering"" is a scientific book written by Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar. The book focuses on the phenomenon of Rayleigh scattering, which is the scattering of light by particles in the atmosphere. The author explores the way in which this scattering affects the illumination and polarization of the sunlit sky.Chandrasekhar begins by explaining the basic principles of Rayleigh scattering and the way in which it affects the color of the sky. He then goes on to discuss the ways in which the scattering affects the polarization of light, and how this polarization can be measured and studied.The book includes detailed mathematical equations and diagrams to help readers understand the complex concepts being discussed. It is intended for scientists and researchers in the fields of physics and atmospheric science, as well as students studying these subjects at an advanced level.Overall, ""The Illumination and Polarization of the Sunlit Sky on Rayleigh Scattering"" is a comprehensive and detailed exploration of a fascinating scientific phenomenon. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the science of light and the atmosphere.Transactions Of The American Philosophical Society Held At Philadelphia For Promoting Useful Knowledge, New Series, Volume 44, Part 6, 1954.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
