What reading level is The Wave Theory of Light; book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In the following manner one may easily recognize the fact that, when CB is greater than | AB, the waves beyond the plane AB have no common tungent. About the centres K describe circles having radii respectively equal to | LB. These circles will enclose one another and will each pass beyond the point B. It is to be noted that just as soon as the angle DAQ becomes too small to allow the refracted ray DA to pass into the other medium, the internal reflection which occurs at the surface AB increase...s rapidly in brilliancy, as may be easily shown by means of a triangular prism. In terms of our theory, we may thus explain this phenomenon: While the angle DAQ is still large 88 THE WAVE-THEORY OF LIGHT enough for the ray DA to be transmitted, it is evident tliat the light from the wave-front AC will be concentrated into a much shorter line when it reaches the position BN. It will be seen also that the wave-front HN grows shorter in proportion as the angle CBA or DAQ becomes smaller, until finally, when the limit indicated above is reached, BN" is reduced to a point.
