Phares et appareils d'éclairage - Table analytique des 3 volumes - Augustin Jean Fresnel, né le 10 mai 1788 à Broglie et mort le 14 juillet 1827 à Ville-d'Avray, est un ingénieur et physicien français dont les recherches en optique ont conduit à l'acceptation définitive de la théorie ondulatoire de la lumière en remplacement de la théorie balistique qui s'était imposée depuis Newton. En s'appuyant sur les concepts émis par Christian Huygens à la fin du xviie siècle, et en procédant à ses propres expériences, il retrouva indépendamment les observations faites quelques années plus tôt par Thomas Young sur les interférences et leur donna les fondements physiques et mathématiques qui emportèrent l'adhésion des physiciens de son époque. Dans son Mémoire sur la diffraction de la lumière, Fresnel donna la première explication rationnelle du phénomène de la diffraction. Pour sa démonstration, il montra que l'addition de deux vibrations lumineuses de même fréquence pouvait être modélisée comme la composition de deux forces, c'est-à-dire de deux vecteurs, de grandeurs et directions différentes ? les vecteurs de Fresnel. En reconnaissant que la lumière est composée de vibrations transversales, Fresnel a expliqué la nature de la polarisation de la lumière, la biréfringence et la polarisation circulaire. Bien que Fresnel puisse être considéré comme un physicien théoricien ou physicien mathématicien, il n' a eu que peu de temps pour se consacrer à ses recherches fondamentales. Son métier était ingénieur des Ponts et Chaussées. À ce titre, il a apporté des améliorations considérables à la luminosité des phares en inventant les lentilles à échelons, ou lentilles de Fresnel. Augustin Fresnel est mort à 39 ans. Malgré la brièveté de sa vie, l'excellence et l'importance de ses travaux ont tout de suite été reconnues par ses contemporains. Il a été élu membre de l'Académie des sciences de Paris en 1823, membre associé de la Royal Society en 1825 et a reçu la médaille Rumford sur son lit de mort en 1827. Humphrey Loyd, professeur de physique au Trinity College à Dublin, considérait que la théorie ondulatoire de Fresnel était ?"" la plus noble invention qui ait jamais honoré le domaine des sciences physiques, à la seule exception du système de l'Univers de Newton."" (source : Wikipedia) - Marcel Émile Verdet, né le 13 mars 1824 à Nîmes et mort le 3 juin 1866 à Avignon, est un physicien français, maître de conférences de physique à l'École normale supérieure durant 18 ans."

‎First appearances of this groundbreaking series of papers and memoirs in which Fresnel established the scientific basis for the wave theory of light and gave the theoretical framework for explaining, in the context of his theory of the transversal nature of lightwaves, the phenomena of double refraction, refraction, dispersion, polarization, interference, diffraction patterns, diffraction fringes as light spreads around objects, etc. He developed mathematically the hypothesis of the wave nature of light and he demonstrates its conformity with experience. His study of light was a dynamic interplay between theory and observation, between mathematics and experiment. - The offered series also comprises the contributions from Arago and the rapports from The French Academy's committees by Ampère, Biot and Fourier - see below nos. 6,11,14,15,a.nd 18.""From the point of view of method, his investigations extended from the manual operations of the laboratory to the most abstract mathematical analyses. Few physicists since Newton had been so versatile.""(Silliman in ""Historical Studies in the Physical Sciences"", vol. 4, p. 155.).""The wave-thory at this time was still encumbered with difficulties. Diffraction was not satisfactorily explained" for polarization no explanation of any kind was forthcoming the Huygenian construction appeared to require two different luminiferous media within double refracting bodies and the universality of that construction had been impugned by Brewster's discovery of biaxial crystals. The upholders of the emission theory, emboldened by the success of Laplace's theory of double refraction, thought the time ripe for their final triunph and as a step to this, in March 1817 they proposed Diffration as the subject of the Academy's prize for 1818. Their expectation was disappointed" and the successful memoir afforded the first of a series of reverses of which, in the short space of seven years, the corpuscular theory was completely owerthrown. The author was Augustin Fresnel...""(Whittaker ""A History of the Theories of Aether & Electricity"", vol. 1, p.107 ff.).""This concept of transverse waves met with the greatest hostility from the scientists of the day, who could not imagine an extremely fluid and rarified ether which at the same time possessed the mechanical properties of a rigid body. Even Arago admitted that he could not follow the exuberant engineer in his ideas. ButFresnel was convinced that at last he had the key to many mysteries, and with his model of waves he gave a full clarification of the phenomena of polarization. With insuperable precision he explained a long series of extremely complicated experiments, such as those of chromatic polarization that Arago himself had discovered by chance in 1811, and which the followers of Newton could not explain in spite of all their efforts. Following this line Fresnel reached the synthesis which is his masterpiece....we must recall the final interpretation that he gave of the famous phenomenon of partial reflection by transparent surfaces, that simple phenomenon which until then had puzzled Grimaldi, Newton, and Huygens, and which in Malus's experiments had unexpectedly acquired a special importencee as it had been compared to the great mystery of double refraction.""(Ronchi ""The Nature of Light"", p. 255 ff.).Comprising:1.

‎First German edition of Fresnel's epoch-making memoir from the French Academy (1826) and incorporating his experimental results from the years 1815-19, in which he for the first time explained the causes of the diffraction effects as the mutual interference of the secondary waves emitted by those portions of the original wave-front which have not been obstructed by the diffraction screen. His methods of calculation utilized the principles of both Huygens and Young and he summed the effects due to different portions of the same primary wave-front. He demonstrates that the transverse wave theory of light explains the observed phenomena of reflection, refraction, interference, polarization, difraction patterns, diffraction fringes etc., making a strong case for the theory of the transverse nature of light waves.

‎First appearance in German of two importent memoirs on polarized light, refraction and reflexion of light.The first paper unites two of his earlier papers on polarization as an introduction to the second paper. Having mastered the wave theory, Fresnel tackled the phenomena of polarization and of double refraction, and he obtained results which amazed the scientific world. These results survived the criticism of his contemporaries and of his succcessors, and are still accepted today.The second paper offered contains the first German edition of the importent paper in which Fresnel formulates a theory of reflection and refraction referring them to the dynamical properties of the luminiferous media and stating the two laws that bears his name, the ""Sine-law"" and the ""Tangent-law"".This memoir was for some time considered lost, it was presented to the Academy in 1823, but found later in the papers of Fourier. ""Diese Abhandlung ist bereits am 7. Jan. 1823 in der Pariser Academie vorgelesen, nach der Zeit aber abhanden gekommen, und erst kürzlich unter den Papieren des verwigten Fourier wieder aufgefunden""(Editors footnote).In the memoir ""He adopts Young's principle, that reflection and refraction are due to differences in the inertia of the aether in different material bodies, and supposes (as in the memoir on aberration) that the inertia is proportional to the inverse square of the velocity of propagation of light in the medium. The conditions which he proposes to satisfy at the interface between two media are that the displacements of the aadjacent molecules, resolved parallell to this interface, shall be equal in the two media"" and that the energy of the reflwected and refracted waves together shall be equal to that of the incident wave.""(Whittaker ""A History of the Theories of Aether and Electricity"" I, p.123).‎

‎First appearance of Fresnel's landmark papers on the phenomena of diffraction, presenting Fresnel's first priinted paper on the subject. These two papers won the Academy's prize for 1818 and were later expanded and published as a long memoir in 1826. The first paper offered initiated the attack on the corpuscular theory of light, which was completely owerthrown by a series of succesfull papers by Fresnel the next few years. In the second paper Fresnel summed up all his work prior to this date in completed form. The paper is called ""extract"", but the longer memoir was not published until 1826. The paper is A CLASSIC IN PHYSICS.""In broad context Fresnel's work can be viewed as the first successfull assault on the theory of imponderables and a major influence on the development of nineteenth-centurty energetics."" (DSB V, p. 171).Diffraction arises because of the way in which waves propagate" this is described by the Huygens-Fresnel principle. The propagation of a wave can be visualized by considering every point on a wavefront as a point source for a secondary radial wave. The subsequent propagation and addition of all these radial waves form the new wavefront. When waves are added together, their sum is determined by the relative phases as well as the amplitudes of the individual waves, an effect which is often known as wave interference. The summed amplitude of the waves can have any value between zero and the sum of the individual amplitudes. Hence, diffraction patterns usually have a series of maxima and minima.

‎Cette publication fondamentale des oeuvres complètes du physicien Augustin Fresnel (1788-1827) rassemble une grande part de travaux alors inédit qui "forment plus de la moitié de la présente édition". Dans son "Mémoire sur la diffraction de la lumière", Fresnel fournit la première explication rationnelle du phénomène de la diffraction. Bon exemplaire bien relié (plats lég. frottés, qq. rouss.). This fundamental publication of the complete works of the physicist Augustin Fresnel (1788-1827) brings together a large part of then unpublished works, which "form more than half of the present edition". In his "Mémoire sur la diffraction de la lumièret", Fresnel provides the first rational explanation of the phenomenon of diffraction. "Provided with a detailed analytical table of contents, this comprehensive edition lacks only the important notes on electrodynamics addresses to Ampère" (DSB, V, 165-171).‎

‎Fist printing of this importent paper in which Fresnel formulates a theory of reflection and refraction referring them to the dynamical properties of the luminiferous media and stating the two laws that bears his name, the ""Sine-law"" and the ""Tangent-law"".This memoir was for some time considered lost, it was presented to the Academy in 1823, but found later in the papers of Fourier. ""Ce Mémoire, qu'on ecroyait égaré, vient d'étre retrouvé dans les papiers de M. Fourier. Comme il n'est connu que par des extraits tout-è-fait insuffisand (voyez Ann.. t. XXIX, p. 175), nous nous empressons d'en enrichir les Annales.""(Editor's footnote).In the memoir ""He adopts Young's principle, that reflection and refraction are due to differences in the inertia of the aether in different material bodies, and supposes (as in the memoir on aberration) that the inertia is proportional to the inverse square of the velocity of propagation of light in the medium. The conditions which he proposes to satisfy at the interface between two media are that the displacements of the aadjacent molecules, resolved parallell to this interface, shall be equal in the two media"" and that the energy of the reflwected and refracted waves together shall be equal to that of the incident wave.""(Whittaker ""A History of the Theories of Aether and Electricity"" I, p.123).‎

‎First German translation of Fresnel’s landmark work “Sur la Lumière"" from 1822. Here Fresnel established the scientific basis for the wave theory of light and gave the theoretical framework for explaining, in the context of his theory of the transversal nature of lightwaves, the phenomena of double refraction, refraction, dispersion, polarization, interference, diffraction patterns, diffraction fringes as light spreads around objects, etc. He developed mathematically the hypothesis of the wave nature of light and he demonstrates its conformity with experience. His study of light was a dynamic interplay between theory and observation, between mathematics and experiment. - ""From the point of view of method, his investigations extended from the manual operations of the laboratory to the most abstract mathematical analyses. Few physicists since Newton had been so versatile.""(Silliman in ""Historical Studies in the Physical Sciences"", vol. 4, p. 155.). ""The wave-thory at this time was still encumbered with difficulties. Diffraction was not satisfactorily explained" for polarization no explanation of any kind was forthcoming the Huygenian construction appeared to require two different luminiferous media within double refracting bodies and the universality of that construction had been impugned by Brewster's discovery of biaxial crystals. The upholders of the emission theory, emboldened by the success of Laplace's theory of double refraction, thought the time ripe for their final triunph and as a step to this, in March 1817 they proposed Diffration as the subject of the Academy's prize for 1818. Their expectation was disappointed" and the successful memoir afforded the first of a series of reverses of which, in the short space of seven years, the corpuscular theory was completely owerthrown. The author was Augustin Fresnel...""(Whittaker ""A History of the Theories of Aether & Electricity"", vol. 1, p.107 ff.). ""This concept of transverse waves met with the greatest hostility from the scientists of the day, who could not imagine an extremely fluid and rarified ether which at the same time possessed the mechanical properties of a rigid body.

Not long after his death scientific opinion definitely shifted in favor of waves and opened up the pathway leading to the deeper insights of MAXWELL. In troad context FRESNEL's work can be viewed as the first successful assault on the theory of imponderables and a major influence on the development of nineteenth-century energetics".

‎---- Deuxième édition française "With FRESNEL's and AMPERE's ORIGINAL MEMOIRS ON LIGHT AND ELECTRICITY" ---- BON EXEMPLAIRE ---- "A self-taught chemist, THOMSON first secured his reputation through the publication of the System, which was so popular that it went through six editions during the next eighteen years... As the first systematic treatise of a nonelementary kind to break the French monopoly of such works, THOMSON's System tried patriotically to justice to the contributions made by British chemists to the new chemistry, which had been established in the late eighteenth century...".

‎Mémoires sur l'ELECTRODYNAMIQUE‎

‎P., Gauthier-Villars, 1885/1887, 2 VOLUMES in 8 reliés en demi-chagrin rouge et en demi-chagrin vert (reliures de l'époque), 7pp., 412pp. ; (2), 403pp.‎


‎EDITION ORIGINALE ---- Réunion en deux volumes, par la Société Française de physique, des mémoires publiés sur l'électrodynamique par AMPERE, OERSTED, ARAGO, BIOT, DAVY, FARADAY, G. et A. DE LA RIVE, FRESNEL, BARLOW, SAVARY, WEBER, ETC ---- "Ces mémoires sont rangés par ordre de date. Le premier volume commence par le mémoire d'OERSTED, publié le 21 Juillet 1820, et va jusqu'à la fin de 1823. Il renferme également les mémoires d'AMPERE, d'ARAGO, de BIOT, de DAVY, de FARADAY, etc... Ceux d'AMPERE tiennent naturellement la plus grande place. Les mémoires d'AMPERE postérieures à 1823 occupent également une grande partie du volume. On trouvera, à très peu près, dans ces deux volumes tout ce qui a été publié sur l'électrodynamique par l'illustre physicien. On trouvera également quelques morceaux restés inédits ou publiés seulement par extraits ainsi que DEUX NOTES INEDITES DE FRESNEL relatives au magnétisme...". (Avertissement) ---- OERSTED : Expérience relative à l'effet du conflit électrique sur l'aiguille aimantée -- AMPERE : De l'action exercée sur un courant électrique par un autre courant, le globe terrestre ou un aimant ; Mémoire sur l'expression mathématique des attractions et des répulsions électriques ; Analyse des mémoires lus à l'Académie les 11 et 26 Décembre 1820 et les 8 et 15 Janvier 1821 ; Extrait d'une lettre d'Ampère à M. Le Professeur De La Rive sur des expériences électromagnétiques ; Expériences relatives aux nouveaux phénomènes électrodynamique obtenus au mois de Décembre 1821 ; Réponse à la lettre de M. Van Beck, sur une nouvelle expérience électromagnétique ; Exposé sommaire des nouvelles expériences électromagnétiques faites par différents physiciens, depuis le mois de Mars 1821 ; Second mémoire sur la détermination de la formule qui représente l'action mutuelle de deux portions infiniment petites de conducteurs voltaïques ; Mémoire sur la théorie mathématique des phénomènes électro-dynamiques, uniquement déduite de l'expérience, dans lequel se trouvent réunis les mémoires que M. Ampère a communiqués à l'Académie royale des Sciences, dans les séances des 4 et 26 Décembre 1820, 10 Juin 1822, 22 Décembre 1823, 12 Septembre et 28 Novembre 1825... -- ARAGO : Expériences relatives à l'aimantation du fer et de l'acier par l'action du courant voltaïque - Davy : Sur les phénomènes magnétiques produits par l'électricité ; Nouvelles recherches sur les phénomènes magnétiques produits par l'électricité .
