Excerpt from Instruments and Methods Used in Radiometry, Vol. 3: The Photo-Electric Cell and Other Selective Radiometers
Many substances are light sensitive, for example, copper oxide, sulphides of antimony, silver, etc. The best-known example is crystalline selenium, which will'be discussed presently.
Group III includes substances which, when charged to a nega tive potential (in an evacuated chamber), lose their charge when exposed to light, especially violet and ultra-violet rays. When used in this manner they are commonly called photoelectric cells. The emission of electrons is. A surface phenomenon which is easily affected by oxidation of the surface.

Excerpt from Instruments and Methods Used in Radiometry, Vol. 3: The Photo-Electric Cell and Other Selective Radiometers
In order to shield the electrometer from leakage, static charges, etc., the whole apparatus including the photoelectric cell, is usually inclosed in a tight metal box and the moisture is absorbed by drying material; for example, calcium chloride or better still phosphorus pentoxide. The metal box is grounded.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the use of specific physical and chemical properties of matter to quantitatively measure radiant energy. The author examines the application of selective radiometers, which are instruments used to detect and measure different wavelengths of radiant energy, focusing on three main types: selenium cells, photographic radiometers, and photoelectric cells. Each type's advantages and limitations are explored, providing a comprehensive understanding of their use in various fields. The book discusses the historical context of radiometry and places the author's work within the broader scientific landscape. It sheds light on the intricate relationship between matter and energy, offering valuable insights for researchers, scientists, and anyone interested in the field of radiation measurement. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
