从惠更斯原理到索末菲衍射公式

From Huygens' Principle to the Sommerfeld Diffraction Formula

自1678年惠更斯提出惠更斯原理,菲涅耳、基尔霍夫、索末菲等都对这一原理作出了改进和完善,体现了科学研究中从定性、半定量再到定量的逐步精确化的发展历程。为了准确理解惠更斯一菲涅耳原理,也为了认识和掌握科学发展的客观规律,有必要对惠更斯原理的发展历程作比较深入的认识,文章对此作了尝试。

Since 1678 Huygens proposed Huygens＇ Principle,Fresnel,Kirchhoff,Sommerfeld and so on had improved this principle,which reflects the scientific research of the development process form the qualitative,semi-quantitative precision to the quantitative phase.In order to accurately understand the Huygens-Fresnel＇s principle,and also to grasp the objective laws of scientific development,it is necessary for further knowing the history of development of the Huygens＇ principle.
