Light, Visible and Invisible is a collection of lectures delivered by Silvanus P. Thompson at the Royal Institution of Great Britain. The book explores the nature of light, including its physical properties, the ways in which it interacts with matter, and the various forms of light that exist beyond the visible spectrum. Thompson discusses the history of scientific inquiry into light, from the earliest observations made by ancient thinkers to the latest discoveries in modern physics. He also explores the practical applications of light, such as in photography and telecommunications, and examines the role of light in human perception and culture. This book is a fascinating exploration of one of the most fundamental and mysterious phenomena in the natural world, and will appeal to anyone interested in science, technology, or the history of ideas.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
