Excerpt from Spectrum Analysis: Six Lectures Delivered in 1868 Before the Society of Apothecaries of London
Since last summer, when these Lectures were de livered, our knowledge of the constitution of the sun especially has made giant strides; and although I have been unable to introduce these newest facts into the text of the Lectures, I have still brought forward the most important of these discoveries in the Appendices to Lecture V.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book marks a huge shift in our understanding of the composition of matter through the development of spectrum analysis. It contains a collection of lectures originally given by scientists who were intricately involved in its discovery and application. Beginning with the history and principles of the method, the text provides detailed descriptions of various experiments conducted by the author and others, using sunlight, electric light, and different chemical substances. The author discusses the connection between the newly discovered field of spectrum analysis and the fields of chemistry, astronomy, and photography. Analysis of the light emitted by the sun revealed the presence of elements on the sun, such as sodium and iron. The book goes on to describe how this groundbreaking technique can be used to detect and study the composition of stars, nebulae, and comets.
