-
A.
Newtonian optics
Newtonian optics is the branch of physics developed by Isaac Newton that explains light primarily as a stream of particles to account for reflection, refraction, and color phenomena.
-
B.
An Essay Towards a New Theory of Vision
An Essay Towards a New Theory of Vision is a philosophical treatise by George Berkeley that explores how we perceive distance, size, and spatial properties through vision, arguing that such perceptions are learned rather than innate.
-
C.
Commentary on Newton's Principia
Commentary on Newton's Principia is Émilie du Châtelet’s influential French translation and elucidation of Isaac Newton’s Principia, which helped popularize and clarify Newtonian physics in the 18th century.
-
D.
Newton’s bucket argument
Newton’s bucket argument is a thought experiment by Isaac Newton that uses the behavior of water in a rotating bucket to argue for the existence of absolute space.
-
E.
Fermat’s principle of least time
chosen
Fermat’s principle of least time is a fundamental variational principle in optics stating that light follows the path that takes the least time, from which many laws of geometrical optics can be derived.
- F. None of above.
- G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
