    Extractions: Physics Alhazen Alhazen (c. 965 A.D. - c. 1039; Iraq) Alhazen is regarded as being one of the greatest Islamic scientists during the medieval period and has been credited as being the first person to give an accurate description of how humans see. Although he was born in Iraq, Alhazen moved to Egypt between 996 and 1021and remained there until his death in 1039. Alhazen's greatest contribution to the field of physics was his work entitled, Optics, in which Alhazen took Euclid's and Ptolemy's doctrines on visual rays and replaced them with his own belief that vision was the result of light coming from an object and moving into the eye. Alhazen thought that rays reached the surface of the eye perpendicularly and the combined effects from the perpendicular rays formed the image of the object.This hypothesis was based on Alhazen's theory that all objects reflected light in every direction. All of the observations and experiments used in his work related to the camera obscura, perception, visual illusions, reflection and refraction and were heavily based upon mathematics. In regard to his work on refraction, Alhazen wrote in his book that refraction explained twilight. Alhazen stated that twilight was due to the refraction of the sun's rays in the earth's atmosphere. During his work on Optics, which was translated into Latin in 1270, Alhazen developed a problem which involved curved mirrors and reflected light. Alhazen was able to solve this problem, which bears his name, for spherical mirrors through the method of intersecting a circle and hyperbola.

    Extractions: Born in Iraq as Abu Ali Hasan Ibn al-Haitham, the great Arab physicist is more often known by the Latinized version of his first name, Alhazen. Although he was to eventually become a profound intellectual specializing in mathematics and optics, Alhazen's early education was geared towards religion and prepared him for a career as a minister. However, apparently unhappy in his religious pursuits, Alhazen later decided to devote himself to the study of science and became particularly intrigued by Aristotle. Many details of Alhazen's life have been lost over time and the stories that remain are often contradictory depending on the historian relating them. Nevertheless, it is generally held that Alhazen went to Egypt at some point in his life with a scheme to control the waters of the Nile. Invited to engineer the plan by al-Hakim, who was to become known as the Mad Caliph, Alhazen realized the impossibility of the feat. However, although he failed, al-Hakim rewarded him with an official government post, a gift that was not to be envied. As al-Hakim's behavior became increasingly erratic, Alhazen is believed to have feared for his life, feigning madness in order to be relieved of his position. Consequently, he was largely confined to his house until al-Hakim's death in 1021. Such a situation provided him with large amounts of free time with which he could conduct experiments and write, but he may have also been busy copying manuscripts in order to support himself.

    Extractions: ABU ALI HASAN IBN AL-HAITHAM (ALHAZEN) (965 - 1040 AD) Al-Haitham, known in the West as Alhazen, is considered as the father of modern optics. Ibn al-Haitham was born in 965 C.E. in Basrah (present Iraq), and received his education in Basrah and Baghdad. He traveled to Egypt and Spain. He spent most of his life in Spain, where conducted research in optics, mathematics, physics, medicine and development of scientific methods. Al-Haitham conducted experiments on the propagation of light and colors, optic illusions and reflections. He examined the refraction of light rays through transparent medium (air, water) and documented the laws of refraction. He also carried out the first experiments on the dispersion of light into colors. In detailing his experiment with spherical segments (glass vessels filled with water), he came very close to discovering the theory of magnifying lenses which was developed in Italy three centuries later. It took another three centuries before the law of sines was proposed by Snell and Descartes. His book Kitab-al-Manazir was translated into Latin in the Middle Ages, as also his book dealing with the colors of sunset. He dealt at length with the theory of various physical phenomena such as the rainbow, shadows, eclipses, and speculated on the physical nature of light. Roger Bacon (thirteenth century), Pole Witelo (Vitellio) and all Medieval Western writers on Optics base their optical work primarily on Al-Haitham's 'Opticae Thesaurus.' His work also influenced Leonardo da Vinci and Johann Kepler. His approach to optics generated fresh ideas and resulted in great progress in experimental methods.

    Extractions: In the picture above, Akhnaten is making a offering to the Sun God Aten. If you look carefully, you will see little hands at the ends of the rays coming out from Aten, the Sun. The egyptians thought that light was the way Aten found out about the goings on in the world. In essence, light is God's vision . The idea that the Sun emits rays is not immediately obvious. Even cast shadows do not necessarily imply rays. In fact, the ancients thought shadows were an opposition of light; light and dark were equal and opposite dualities. The Egyptians probably got the idea from observing the ray pattern one sometimes sees when the Sun is behind scattered clouds. The ancient Greeks thought that there was some form of fire inside the eye. This fire shines out much like sunlight shines out from the Sun, but it is too weak for us to see. The fire reaches out, touches, and brings back essences of objects to the observer. They probably got the idea from noticing the tiny bright glints of reflection one sees on the wet surface of the pupil of the eye. Plato, by the way, also understood that what we see is only a shadow of reality. He was the first great philosopher to grasp this fundamental concept of postmodernism.

    Extractions: Iranian by birth, Alhazen received his education in both Basra and Baghdad, before travelling to Egypt, where on commission to Caliph al-Hakim, then ruler of Egypt, he attempted to find a way of controlling the flooding of the Nile River. He reasoned that constructing a dam would enable water to be stored for irrigation in the dry season, and would prevent flooding at other times. However, upon arriving at the proposed site, Alhazen realised that he had insufficient money and materials to successfully complete the project. Wishing to escape the wrath of Caliph he feigned madness, a pretence he maintained until Caliph's death 12 years later. By this time, Alhazen was living and pursuing science in Spain. There he conducted examinations of optics, mathematics, physics, medicine as well as doing much to develop scientific method. His many works, the most distinguished was Kitab-al-Manadhir. Translated into Latin in 1270, 'Opticae Thesaurus' was the first real contribution to the science of optics in the first millennium and had a great influence on both Bacon and Kepler. Of particular note the six volume work contains the first serious study of lenses, a disproof of Ptolemy's law of refraction, research into reflections from spherical and parabolic mirrors and the first accurate description of the anatomy of the human eye.  He also studied the phenomena of eclipses, shadows, and rainbows and the role of the dispersion light in the determination of colours.

Ibn al-Haitham was nevertheless a diligent and successful student, being the first great discoverer in optics after the time of Ptolemy . According to Giovanni Battista della Porta, he first explained the apparent increase of heavenly bodies near the horizon, although Bacon gives the credit of this discovery to Ptolemy. He taught, previous to the Polish physicist Witelo, that vision does not result from the emission of rays from the eye, and wrote also on the refraction of light, especially on atmospheric refraction, showing, e.g. the cause of morning and evening twilight. He solved the problem of finding the point in a convex mirror at which a ray coming from one given point shall be reflected to another given point. His treatise on optics was translated into Latin by Witelo (1270), and afterwards published by F. Risner in 1572, with the title

    Extractions: Nga DR. A. Zahur (Zahoor) Ebu Ali Hasan Ibn El Haitham, i njohur në perëndim me emrin Alhazen, konsiderohet si babai i optikës moderne. El - Haithan ishte një nga shkencëtarët më të shquar të kohës dhe kontributet e tij në optikë dhe në metodat shkencore janë të pakrahasueshme. Ka lindur më 965 në Basra (Iraku i sotëm) ku dhe i mori mësimet e para. Ai studioi gjthashtu edhe në Bagdad si dhe udhëtoi në Egjypt dhe Spanjë. Pjesën më të madhe të jetës së tij e kaloi në Spanjë ku dhe bëri hulumtime në optikë, matematikë, fizikë, mjekësi si dhe në zhvillimin e metodave shkencore. El-Haithami bëri eksperimente në përhapjen e dritës si dhe ngjyrat, iluzionet optike dhe refleksionin. Ekzaminoi thyerjen e rrezeve të dritës përmes mjetit transparent (ajrit dhe ujit) dhe zbuloi kështu ligjet e thyerjes së dritës. Gjithashtu ai bëri eksperimentet e para në shpërndarjen e dritës në ngjyrat e saj përbërëse. Në detajimin e eksperimentit të tij me segmentet sferike (enë qelqi të mbushtura me ujë), iu afrua shumë zbulimit të teorisë së lenteve zmadhuese e cila u zbulua 3 shekuj më pas në Itali. Ligji i sinusit do të merrte edhe tre shekuj të tjerë për t`u propozuar nga Snell dhe Dekart. Libri i tij "Kitab el-Manazir" i cili është përkthyer në Latinisht në epokën e mesjetës ka të bëjë me ngjyrat e muzgut. Gjerësisht trajton teoritë e fenomeneve të ndryshme fizike si : ylberi, hijet, eklipset, dhe spekulon rreth natyrës fizike të dritës. Roxher Bakon (shekulli 13), Polo Vitelio si dhe studjuesit e tjerë perëndimor të kohës së mesjetës që u morën me studimin e optikës, kryesisht u bazuan në "Opticae Thesaurous" të El-Haithamit. Vepra e tij gjithashtu influencoi Leonardo Da Vinçin dhe Johan Kepler.
