Rontgen Rays (Classic Reprint): Memoirs by Röntgen, Stokes, and J. J. Thomson: Memoirs by Röntgen, Stokes, and J. J. Thomson (Classic Reprint) - Tapa blanda
Sinopsis
New insights into the X‑rays that reshaped physics — a carefully edited collection that gathers the pioneering memoirs and major papers on Rontgen rays, from their discovery to the evolving theories that followed.
This volume offers original first communications, subsequent observations, and critical discussion by leading figures in early radioactivity and electromagnetism. It includes the most important experiments, biographical sketches, and bibliographic notes that illuminate how these unseen rays challenged existing ideas about light, matter, and energy.
- Read the first reports of X-rays and their striking properties
- Explore how researchers tested fluorescence, photography, and material transparency
- Examine debates about the nature of the rays, including competing theories and measurements
- See contemporary commentary, lectures, and biographical notes that framed the work
Ideal for readers of the history of science, physics students, and anyone curious about how a new form of radiation changed scientific thinking.

Excerpt from Rontgen Rays: Memoirs by Röntgen, Stokes, and J. J. Thomson
The most important experiments, however, and those which have led to the most important conclusions, were made by Pro fessor J. J. Thomson, of Cambridge. They proved the fact that a dielectric traversed by these radiations became a con ductor, or, in other words, was ionized. This discovery in the hands of Professor Thomson and his students has led to a series of most interesting and important researches, all bearing upon the intimate connection between matter and electricity.

Excerpt from Rontgen Rays: Memoirs by Röntgen, Stokes, and J. J. Thomson
The new kind of radiation known as X-rays, or Rontgen rays, from the name of their discoverer, were first observed and studied by Professor W. C. Rontgen, of the University of Würzburg, in 1895, and the announcement of their discovery was made in a paper which appeared that year, and which is reprinted in this volume. As was noticed later these radiations had been previously detected and some of their properties noted by other observers, notably Professor Lenard; but it is to Rontgen that we owe the first systematic study of the methods of production and of the remarkable properties of these rays. Nearly all the general properties, both positive and negative, were investigated by Rontgen and carefully stated. These results are contained in the first three pages of this volume.
The most important experiments, however, and those which have led to the most important conclusions, were made by Professor J. J. Thomson, of Cambridge. They proved the fact that a dielectric traversed by these radiations became a conductor, or, in other words, was ionized. This discovery in the hands of Professor Thomson and his students has led to a series of most interesting and important researches, all bearing upon the intimate connection between matter and electricity.
Many hypotheses have been advanced to account for the peculiar properties of the X-rays.

Calificación del vendedor: 4 de 5 estrellas
Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book chronicles the discovery of X-rays by Wilhelm Conrad Rontgen in 1895. Rontgen was a German physicist and professor of physics at the University of WĂźrzburg. The author explains how Rontgen discovered X-rays while experimenting with cathode rays and high voltage in a vacuum tube. He named them X-rays because they were unknown and mysterious. The book includes copies of Rontgen's papers on his discovery, including the first announcement of the discovery in 1895 and a second paper with further observations. The book also includes commentary by other scientists, such as Stokes and Thomson, who contributed to the early understanding of X-rays. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of science and the discovery of X-rays. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Nş de ref. del artículo: 9781332033355_0
