XVI. Double refraction and dispersion in Iceland Spar. An experimental investigation with a comparison with Huyghen's construction for the extraordinary wave
In the “Proceedings of the Royal Society,” vol. xxvii, p. 498, the results of some experiments on double refraction in aragonite are given. From them I was led to the conclusion that there were slight differences between Fresnel’s theory and experiment, and that possibly there was some connexion bet...

| Summary: | In the “Proceedings of the Royal Society,” vol. xxvii, p. 498, the results of some experiments on double refraction in aragonite are given. From them I was led to the conclusion that there were slight differences between Fresnel’s theory and experiment, and that possibly there was some connexion between these differences and the wave-length of the light used. |
