and all experiments testify
The Identity of Coincidence 279
can be but small, in which there can be any sensible Coincidence 421
now pass from the Crystaline to the Vitreous Humour still
in a converging State
and the Sines of Incidence 136
(as are proper to each) receive
the Beam of Light under such Angles of Incidence 142
and continue, in such perfect Coincidence
that only one Sound could be heard of both their Vibrations 382
coincident chords 57
and all Experiments testify that the Angles of Incidence and Reflection are equal,
and therefore that the Passage of the Rays of Light
from one given Point to another,
either by Reflection or Refraction, must 134
touch the Plane in the Point of Incidence 470
