Experimental Optics is a comprehensive guide to the practical application of optical principles in a laboratory setting. Written by Albert F. Wagner, this classic scientific work serves as both an instructional manual and a foundational reference for students and researchers of physics. The book covers a wide range of essential topics, including the measurement of focal lengths, the study of mirrors and lenses, and the properties of prisms and diffraction gratings.

Through a series of detailed experiments, Wagner provides clear methodologies for exploring the behavior of light, refraction, and image formation. The text emphasizes precision and observation, offering readers a rigorous approach to understanding the physical laws that govern optical systems. With its focus on hands-on learning and technical accuracy, Experimental Optics remains a significant resource for those interested in the history of scientific instruction and the development of modern optical technology. Whether used for academic study or historical research, this volume offers a fascinating window into the experimental methods of early 20th-century physics.
