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.
