Spectrophotometric Study of the Polarization of Light by Gratings

"A Spectrophotometric Study of the Polarization of Light by Gratings" (1921) presents a detailed investigation into the behavior of light as it interacts with diffraction gratings. Authored by Edwin John Knapp, this study delves into the spectrophotometric analysis of polarized light, offering insights into the optical properties of gratings. The work provides meticulous measurements and observations, contributing to the understanding of light polarization and diffraction phenomena.

This early 20th-century scientific work is a valuable resource for researchers and students in optics, physics, and engineering, providing a foundational understanding of light behavior and measurement techniques. Knapp's detailed approach makes it a useful reference for those studying the historical development of spectrophotometry and grating technology.
