 Every ray of light in its passage through any refracting surface, is put into a certain transient constitution or state; which, in the progress of the ray, returns at equal intervals, and disposes the ray at every return to be easily transmitted through...

...transmission, they were accordingly transmitted; but if in a fit of easy reflexion, they were reflected. Every ray of light, in its passage through any refracting surface, is put into a certain transient state, which at certain intervals disposes it to be easily transmitted or reflected. These returns... | |
