1. Storia Della Luce Da Euclide A Einstein
Da Euclide a Einstein
A concise history of ideas about light, tracing the evolution from ancient geometrical optics through medieval and early modern advances to the wave–corpuscle debates, the unification in electromagnetism, and the revolutionary insights of relativity and the quantum. It emphasizes the interplay of theory, instrumentation, and observation, showing how changing methods and concepts transformed understanding of vision, propagation, and the physical nature of radiation.
