Why Rays are propagated only in straight lines. How Light coming in different directions can cross itself. CHAPTER II. On Reflexion. Demonstration of equality of angles of incidence and reflexion. Why the incident and reflected rays are in the same plane perpendicular to the reflecting surface. That it is not needful for the reflecting surface to be perfectly flat to attain equality of the angles of incidence and reflexion. CHAPTER III. On Refraction.
