Alhazen, the Latinized name of Abū 'Alī al-Hasan ibn al-Hasan ibn al-Haytham, was born Basra, in what was then part of the Abbasid Caliphate is now in the Republic of Iraq, in 965.
Ibn Al-Haytham (965 in Basra - c. 1039 in Cairo) also known as Alhazen is credited with developing "The Scientific Method". He was a polymath from the Muslim world who made significant contributions to the principles of optics, as well as to anatomy, astronomy, engineering, mathematics, medicine, ophthalmology, philosophy, physics, psychology and visual perception.
In Alhazen's "Perspectiva," he integrated classical works on optics, particularly those of Euclid and Ptolemy. Alhazen built upon their theories and experiments to develop his own understanding of vision and light. His work was instrumental in advancing the field of optics beyond what the classical works had established.
he proposed that eye is a receiver of light, refraction, calculated the thickness of air around us.
