Undulatory

We have up to the present dealt with only two theories of light, the Corpuscular theory and the Undulatory or Wave theory.

Those two theories are known as the Emission or Corpuscular Theory, and the Undulatory or Wave

Aether, it can be proved that Newton's Corpuscular Theory was made to harmonize with the Undulatory Theory, and that it can be I am profoundly convinced.

A new edition of my 'Tracts' was wanted, and I prepared to add a Tract on the Undulatory Theory of Light in its utmost extent.

The question of dependence of the measurable amount of sidereal aberration upon the thickness of glass or other transparent material in the telescope (a question which involves, theoretically, one of the most delicate points in the Undulatory Theory of Light) has lately been agitated on the Continent with much earnestness.

In a 2nd Edition published in 1831 the Undulatory Theory of Optics was added to the above list.

I believe that it was in 1829 that I made an addition to the Syllabus with a small engraving, shewing the interference of light in the best practical experiment (that of the flat prism); and I went thoroughly into the main points of the Undulatory Theory, interference, diffraction, &c.

I still recur with delight to the Undulatory Theory, once the branch of science on which I was best known to the world, and which by calculations, writings, and lectures, I supported against the Laplacian School.

It contained, besides what was in the first edition, the Planetary Theory, and the Undulatory Theory of Light.
