Extractions: Malus began doing experiments on double refraction in 1807. This phenomenon causes a light beam to split in two on passing through Iceland spar and certain other crystals. An empirical description had been given by Dutch physicist Christiaan Huygens , based on the assumption that light is wavelike in character, and Malus's results confirmed Huygens's laws. In 1808, Malus held a piece of Iceland spar up to some light reflecting off a window. To his surprise, the light beam emanating from the crystal was single, not double. He then noted that of the two beams that normally emerge from the crystal, only one was reflected from a water surface if the crystal was held at a certain angle. The other passed into the water and was refracted. If the crystal was turned perpendicular, the second beam was reflected and the first refracted. He described the light as being 'polarized'.

Extractions: Euclid (Alexandria) In his Optica he noted that light travels in straight lines and described the law of reflection. He believed that vision involves rays going from the eyes to the object seen and he studied the relationship between the apparent sizes of objects and the angles that they subtend at the eye Ibn-al-Haitham ( also known as Alhazen) (b. Basra). In his investigations, he used spherical and parabolic mirrors and was aware of spherical aberration. He also investigated the magnification produced by lenses and atmospheric refraction. His work was translated into latin and became accessible to later european scholars

Fourier , and he was perhaps the most able of all of Fourier While in Cairo, Napoleon's fleet was destroyed in Aboukir Bay and Malus wrote, see [3], From then on we realised that all our communications with Europe were broken. We began to lose hope of ever seeing our native land again. At Napoleon's instigation, while they were in Cairo, the Cairo Institute was set up having 12 mathematical members. As well as Malus these included Monge Fourier and Napoleon Bonaparte himself. After returning in 1801 Malus held posts in Antwerp, Strasbourg, and Paris. His mathematical work was almost entirely concerned with the study of light. This involved him in studying geometrical systems called ray systems, closely connected to 's line complexes. He conducted experiments to verify
