Photometria

Target entity: Photometria
Context triple: [Johann Heinrich Lambert, notableWork, Photometria]

• A. Dioptrique
  Dioptrique is a scientific treatise by René Descartes that lays out his pioneering theories on light and optics, including the law of refraction.
• B. A Compendium of Spherical Astronomy
  A Compendium of Spherical Astronomy is a foundational 19th-century textbook by Simon Newcomb that systematically presents the mathematical and theoretical principles underlying positional astronomy and celestial mechanics.
• C. Traité de la lumière
  Traité de la lumière is a seminal 1690 scientific treatise that presents Christiaan Huygens’ wave theory of light, including the principle now known as Huygens’ principle.
• D. Dall–Kirkham telescope design
  The Dall–Kirkham telescope design is a type of reflecting telescope that uses an elliptical primary mirror and a spherical secondary mirror to provide good on-axis image quality with relatively simple, easy-to-manufacture optics.
• E. Tolman surface brightness test
  The Tolman surface brightness test is an observational cosmology method that checks whether the universe is expanding by examining how the surface brightness of distant galaxies diminishes with redshift.
• F. None of above. chosen
• G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
