That's why the final section, for now at least, is called " Effects due to physical optics and radiative transfer . " Flying Jazz 00 : 18, 23 April 2006 ( UTC)

"The renouncing of life and immediacy, which was the premise for the progress of natural science since Newton, formed the real basis for the bitter struggle which Goethe waged against the physical optics of Newton.
33.
Thus, radiative transfer and physical optics effects ( read Wolf effect ) are relegated to a section which explains that the frequency shifts of these phenomena are not generally considered redshifts by those who study the subjects.

:: " I look at the context of the discussion and I see that the Wolf Effect is not being discussed as a coherent source physical optics phenomena, but rather as an astrophysical context ."

From 1882 to 1889, Gibbs wrote five papers on physical optics, in which he investigated birefringence and other optical phenomena and defended Maxwell's electromagnetic theory of light against the mechanical theories of Lord Kelvin and others.
36.
High frequency approximations such as geometric optics, Physical Optics, the geometric theory of diffraction, the uniform theory of diffraction and the physical theory of diffraction are used when the wavelength is much shorter than the target feature size.
37.
He started using Geometric optics rather than Physical optics in the design of his lenses, as Carl Zeiss and Ernst Abbe did, and developed computing methods decreasing the time needed to design a lens by an order of magnitude.
38.
Descartes is not the first to use the mechanical analogies but because he clearly asserts that light is only a mechanical property of the luminous body and the transmitting medium, Descartes'theory of light is regarded as the start of modern physical optics.
39.
It was at the laboratories of this institution that Sir C . V . Raman did his monumental work on Physical Optics that lead to the discovery of the Raman Effect, for which Raman was awarded the first Nobel Prize in Science won by an Indian.

I personally think what's most interesting is the effect itself ( a sort of combination of coherence, physical optics, and scattering ) which is an effect that has been observed in laboratory conditions, but has never been seen in the natural world.
