Conduction of Electricity Through Gases and Radio-Activity: A Text-Book With Experiments (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Unlock the fundamentals of how electricity moves through gases and how radio-activity reshapes our understanding of matter.
This text-book with experiments combines clear explanations with practical laboratory guidance, helping you grasp core concepts and perform hands-on measurements.
Designed for the less advanced student, it offers a structured path from basic discharge phenomena to advanced topics like cathode rays, X-rays, and various radiations. The accompanying experiments illustrate the methods and apparatus you’ll need, along with careful notes on precautions and expected results. Readers gain a working knowledge that supports further study or research in physics.
- Foundational experiments on electric discharge, spark length, and pressure effects.
- Detailed apparatus descriptions, calibration steps, and methods for high‑vacuum work.
- In‑depth coverage of cathode rays, Rontgen rays, and ionization by diverse sources.
- Guided exploration of radio‑activity, emanations, and the complex behavior of different radiations.
Ideal for students of physics, laboratory instructors, and readers seeking a historical, practical introduction to early 20th‑century gas discharge and radio‑activity studies.
