What reading level is Britains Heritage of Science book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The investigation solved, under certain suppositions, the problem of the transmission, reflexion and refraction of waves passing through homogeneous elastic bodies. The only question that remained was, whether the observed laws of light could be made to agree with the mathematical formulae obtained. The two main experimental tests that could be applied were the intensities of light reflected at the surface of transparent bodies and the laws of double refraction. The French physicist Fresnel had... broken the ground, and obtained satisfactory solutions for both problems, but his analysis was not free from serious defects, and the hypothesis he applied in one case was inconsistent with that introduced in the other. The more rigid treatment of Green, together with the subsequent investigations of Stokes, McCullagh and Rayleigh, led to a deadlock, for no consistent hypothesis could be framed to fit all cases. Fortunately Clerk Maxwell's electrodynamic theory of light disposed of these difficulties.
