Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Arthur Holly Compton was one of the great leaders in physics of the twentieth century. In this volume, Robert S. Shankland, who was once a student of Compton's, has collected and edited the most important of Professor Compton's papers on X-raysthe field of his greatest achievementand on other related topics. Compton entered the field of X-ray research in 1913 and carried on active work until the 1930s, when he began to specialize in cosmic rays. During the years when Compton was an active leader in X-ray research, he made many notable contributions which are reflected in the papers presented here. He was the first to prove several important optical properties of X-rays, including scattering, complete polarization, and total reflection. He was also the first, with his student R. L. Doan, to use ruled gratings for the production of X-ray spectra. Professor Compton's greatest discovery, for which he was awarded a Nobel Prize in 1927, was the Compton Effect. This was the outgrowth of experiments he had initiated during a year at Cambridge in 1919-20. He did the major portion of these experiments at Washington University in St. Louis during the period 1920-24. His work demonstrated that in the scattering of X-rays by electrons, the radiation behaves like corpuscles, and that the interaction between the X-ray corpuscles and the electrons in the scatter is completely described by the principles of the conservation of energy and momentum for the collisions of particles. In his introduction, Professor Shankland gives a historical account of the papers, narrates Professor Compton's early scientific career, and shows how he arrived at a quantum explanation of theCompton scattering after eliminating all classical explanations. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

First Edition
1st Edition. One of the major issues in relation to Einstein's relativity was raised in 1933 by Dayton Clarence Miller and his â??ether drift experiment'. In one of the most interesting and problematic "reviews of special relativity, [Miller] questioned Michelson and Morley's â??null result'. According to [Miller], a systematic periodic term would alter the interferometer data, regardless of any statistical error, fluctuations or other mechanical effects" (Shankland, 1955). Miller himself was a vociferous opponent of Einstein's relativity - something his experiment seemed to back up". Miller's results gnawed at the scientific community, particularly given that "For nearly thirty years the results of the Michelson-Morley experiment obtained by Dayton C. Miller on Mount Wilson have stood at variance with all other trials of this experiment" (Shankland 1955). "Shankland believed that the accepted direct explanation for the Michelson-Morley experiment is provided by the special theory of relativity given by Einstein in 1905" (Wikipedia). Several years after [Miller's] death, Robert S. Shankland reconsidered Miller's conclusions were reconsidered [in this paper] by Robert S. Shankland. To start, Shankland "reanalyzed Miller's data using a contaminating-influence computer model, finding the fringe-shift anomalies were a combination of statistical fluctuations in the readings and subtle but systematic temperature disturbances (ibid). [To do so, Shankland] used data modeling as a surrogate for the physical control Miller could not achieve to demonstrate that the fringe-shift anomalies were artifacts that could be removed, producing models of data displaying real null effects" (Miller, Changing the Atmosphere, 75). Shankland took as a â??given' the systematic patterns in Miller's results, but ascribed them to fluctuations and some other thermal artifact in his measurement technique" (Mezzasalma, Macromolecules, 28). "The remaining systematic effects are ascribed to local temperature conditions. These were much more troublesome at Mount Wilson than those encountered by experimenters elsewhere, including Miller himself in his work done at Case in Cleveland. As interpreted in the present study, Miller's extensive Mount Wilson data contain no effect of the kind predicted by the aether theory and, within the limitations imposed by local disturbances, are entirely consistent with a null result at all epochs during a year" (Shankland, 1955). Einstein's relativity was safe. CONDITION & DETAILS: Original wraps. Lancaster: American Physical Society. Volume 27, Number 2, April 1955. (10.5 x 8 inches; 263 x 200mm).
