Ibn Al Haytham<br />

(965–c.1040)<br />

• His Optics, which relied<br />

on experiment rather<br />

than on past authority,<br />

introduced the idea that<br />

light rays emanate in<br />

straight lines in all<br />

directions from every<br />

point on a luminous<br />

surface. Sight occurs<br />

when the ray hits the<br />

eye ( 光 學 : 根 據 實 驗<br />

而 非 古 代 權 威 , 直 線 傳<br />

播 , 視 覺 )<br />
