This copy has been signed by the editor G. K. Batchelor. This, book is in Near Fine condition and has a Very Good- dust, jacket. The book is in mostly clean condition. The text pages, are clean and bright. The price clipped dust jacket has a, couple of small edge tears and some spots of ground-in dirt., All corners of the dust jacket have been clipped. "Taylor is, best known to students of physics for his very first paper,, published while he was still an undergraduate, in which he, showed that interference of visible light produced fringes even, with extremely weak light sources. The interference effects, were produced with light from a gas light, attenuated through a, series of dark glass plates, diffracting around a sewing, needle. Three months were required to produce a sufficient, exposure of the photographic plate. The paper does not mention, quanta of light (photons) and does not reference Einstein's, 1905 paper on the photoelectric effect, but today the result, can be interpreted by saying that less than one photon on, average was present at a time. Once it became widely accepted, ca. 1927 that the electromagnetic field was quantized, Taylor's, experiment began to be presented in pedagogical treatments as, evidence that interference effects with light cannot be, interpreted in terms of one photon interfering with another, photon—that, in fact, a single photon must travel through both, slits of a double-slit apparatus."
