III. On the polarisation of light by reflection from the surface of a crystal of Iceland spar
In the year 1819 Sir David Brewster communicated to the Royal Society (“Phil. Trans.,” 1819, p. 145) an account of some experiments he had made on the polarisation of light by reflection from the surface of double refracting substances, and showed that Malus’ statement with regard to Iceland spar wa...
