Sadi Carnot Fresnel Biot Arago Sadi Carnot Among Fourier's contemporaries who were interested in the theory of heat the most eminent was Sadi Carnot , a son of the eminent geometrician mentioned above. Sadi Carnot was born at Paris in 1796, and died there of cholera in August 1832; he was an officer in the French army. In 1824 he issued a short work entitled , in which he attempted to determine in what way heat produced its mechanical effect. He made the mistake of assuming that heat was material, but his essay may be taken as initiating the modern theory of thermodynamics. was born at Lyons on January 22, 1775, and died at Marseilles on June 10, 1836. He was widely read in all branches of learning, and lectured and wrote on many of them, but after the year 1809, when he was made professor of analysis at the Polytechnic school in Paris, he confined himself almost entirely to mathematics and science. His papers on the connection between electricity and magnetism were written in 1820. According to his theory, propounded in 1826, a molecule of matter which can be magnetized is traversed by a closed electric current, and magnetization is produced by any cause which makes the direction of these currents in the different molecules of the body approach parallelism.

lens display at Ponce Inlet, FL The Fresnel Lens In 1822 a French Physicist named Augustin Fresnel invented a lens that would make his name commonplace along the seacoasts of Europe and North America. It looked like a giant glass beehive, with a light at the center. The lens could be as tall as twelve feet, with concentric rings of glass prisms above and below to bend the light into a narrow beam. At the center the lens was shaped like a magnifying glass, so the concentrated beam was even more powerful. Tests showed that while an open flame lost nearly 97% of its light, and a flame with reflectors behind it still lost 83% of its light, the fresnel lens was able to capture all but 17% of its light. Because of its amazing efficiency, a fresnel lens could easily throw its light 20 or more miles to the horizon. Note the enormous "bulls-eyes" in the original Cape Canaveral first-order lens, which is on display at Ponce Inlet, Florida. The bulls-eyes bend the light into a round beam to create a flashing effect. This is an example of a plain first-order (non-flashing) lens. This one has an unusual green color. This lens still operates at the Southeast Light on Block Island, Rhode Island.

Augustin Fresnel; Engineer and Physicist J -L Basdevant Div. de Phys. Theorique, Inst. de Phys. Nucl., Orsay, France Print publication: Issue 3 (May 1989) Abstract. The scientific production of Fresnel, the founder of the wave theory of light, was established in less than ten years, starting from the age of 26. The main part of his career was devoted to engineering. His major achievement in this latter field was the construction of Fresnel lenses and their use as beacon lenses. doi:10.1088/0150-536X/20/3/001 URL: http://stacks.iop.org/0150-536X/20/101 PDF (957 KB) Full text PDF (957 KB) Article options E-mail abstract Download to citation manager Link to this article Information about Filing Cabinet Find related articles By author J -L Basdevant IOP CrossRef Search Recommend Recommend this article Recommend this journal Author services NEW ...

Fresnel Lens Faced with the need to construct a large lens for a lighthouse of appropriate focal length , but unable to support the large weight of a double convex lens of that size, French physicist Augustin Fresnel (1788-1827) reasoned that it was the surface curvature which gave the focusing power. He reproduced the surface curvature of the thick lens in sections, maintaining the same focal length with a fraction of the weight. The lens strength in diopters is defined as the inverse of the focal length in meters. Besides the glass Fresnel lenses you see in old lighthouses, large Fresnel lenses made from molded plastic are used for certain focusing tasks. The optical quality is not sufficient for good imaging because of the scattering you get at the junctions between the curved segments, resulting in rings of light in the image plane. The principal focal length of a lens is determined by the index of refraction of the glass , the radii of curvature of the surfaces, and the medium in which the lens resides. It can be calculated from the lens-maker's formula for thin lenses.

The Fresnel lens is a thin, flat optical lens which consists of a series of small narrow concentric grooves on the surface of a lightweight plastic sheet in order to reduce the thickness, weight and cost. Each groove is at a slightly different angle than the next and with the same focal length in order to focus the light toward a central focal point. Every groove can be considered as an individual small lens to bend parallel fresnel light waves and focus the light. The lens actually eliminates some spherical aberration. The Fresnel lens is a special optical lens. It can now be made from plastic such as acrylic (PMMA), polyvinyl cholride (PVC), polycarbonate (PC) and HDPE. A traditional glass convex lens would be thick, heavy and very expensive, but a plastic Fresnel lens is a thin, flat, lightweight and low cost alternative. A high groove density has a better quality projection image. The fresnel lens is a good solution for quality image and efficiency at a significantly lower cost. The fresnel lens is usually corrected for spherical aberration.

The incredible Fresnel lens Seeing The Light A brief history and technical explanation Home Back By the middle of the eighteenth century, the "state of the art" in lighthouse optics consisted of single or multiple whale oil burning lamps placed in the lantern at the top of a tower. This method was extremely inefficient, as only three percent of the light ended up being visible at any given point at sea. The only method available through which the output of the lamp could be increased was to increase the size of the flame, thus burning more fuel, and making the light more labor intensive and costly to operate. By the beginning of the 19 th century, US lighthouse optics had progressed to the use of a silvered-metal parabolic reflector placed behind the whale oil lamp, known as the Argand Lamp . With this arrangement not only was the light source itself directly visible at sea, but the parabolic reflector captured the light that would have been lost behind the light, and concentrated it out to sea in the desired direction. While this system was workable, and a vast improvement over the simple lamp, it too was very inefficient, with only thirty-nine percent of the original light source transmitted in the desired direction. Thus while the visible distance increased, it was still limited to a maximum of a fifteen to twenty miles in clear conditions. By the time a vessel saw such a light, they would have precious little time available to turn away from the impending danger of which the light was intended to warn.

ie-Physics Experiment IV-4 Color testing a model Anthropologists suggest that the ability of humans to detect color perhaps evolved when distant ancestors lived in trees and found it helpful to distinguish fruit from leaves. But successful understanding of color and color vision was long an enigma for humans. Basic understanding of colored light is only a couple centuries old. And some people believe that common explanations about color vision are STILL flawed Robert Hooke (1635-1703) who started as an assistant to Robert Boyle, published in 1667 an explanation of light as waves. White, natural light according to Hooke is a simple uniform pulse at right angles to the direction of propagation. Blue light is a confused pulse whose weakest part precedes and whose strongest follows. Red light is a confused pulse whose strongest part precedes the weakest part. Refraction changed the light's color. Before publication of Hooke's ideas, Isaac Newton (1642-1727) began experiments with triangular glass prisms which were long known to produce colors like a rainbow. But the long, narrow non-circular shape of the spectrum produced was not like the rainbow he expected. Placing two prisms back to back, Newton was able to reconstruct a spectrum of colors back into white light except when some colors were blocked. As a result Newton proposed that white light is a mixture of every variety of color.

Branch of Science Physicists Nationality French Fresnel, Augustin (1788-1827) French physicist who independently conducted some of the same experiments as Young . Fresnel showed that only a transverse wave theory of light could account for double refraction To derive the Fresnel equations of reflection and refraction he worked backwards from the known properties of light to derive a dynamical theory. Fresnel also developed the mathematical theory of refraction and polarization in anisotropic crystals. From this theory, William Rowan Hamilton predicted conical refraction which was subsequently discovered. In his model, light consisted of two components with electric fields at right angle to each other. In 1819, during the judging of Fresnel's paper on diffraction at the Paris Academy, Poisson argued that the consequence of Fresnel's theory was that the center of the shadow of a diffracting disk should be illuminated. This unexpected effect was subsequent observed, verifying Fresnel's theory. Fresnel also suggested that permanent magnets could be described by aligned currents circulating around molecules. Fresnel rejected the corpuscular theory of light in favor of a dynamical theory of "luminiferous

Solar System Simulator Fresnel Diffraction Explorer Home About Press Releases Contact Info Simulation and Study of Fresnel Diffraction for Arbitrary Two-Dimensional Apertures - Introduction Diffraction is an important physical effect inherent in all wave phenomena. Fraunhofer and Fresnel diffraction are two important classes of diffraction. Fraunhofer diffraction involves coherent plane waves incident upon an obstruction. Fresnel diffraction is the same, except that the waves are spherical, effectively originating from a point source. Although these two types of diffraction are conceptually similar, analytically solving for a Fresnel diffraction pattern is significantly more challenging than the same task in Fraunhofer diffraction. It is a simple exercise to show that Fraunhofer diffraction by an aperture is mathematically equivalent to the Fourier transform of the aperture shape. Because the integrals describing Fresnel diffraction are so intractable, however, Fresnel diffraction patterns have few analytical solutions, even in one dimension. ... A calculation in two dimensions is even more problematic.... That was from the Introduction of the paper, "Simulation and Study of Fresnel Diffraction for Arbitrary Two-Dimensional Apertures," which was published in
