"The first ever thoroughly revised and expanded edition of one of the classic books on optics of the twentieth century; new material includes an account of the CAT scan (computerized axial tomography); an expanded section on diffraction, including an account of the Rayleigh-Sommerfeld theory; explanation of effects of spatial coherence on the spectrum of light, illustrated by Young's interference experiment with broad-band light; new chapter on both scalar and electromagnetic scattering; and new appendices include; an account of energy conservation in scalar wavefields Jones' lemma on asymptotic behaviour of certain integrals."--BK JACKET.
