The second volume of this work, the first of the more detailed volumes planned to follow the general account of the subject given in Vol. I, is intended to provide an outline of the general optical principles underlying the diffraction of X-rays by matter, which may serve as a foundation on which to
Yes - all classical (linear) optical concepts are in here, and yes, it's the 'bible', but it's very dated in its content, style and references, generally, and not very practical to use. I wish Hecht - or someone like him - would re-write this classic as a more advanced version of his book.
