This book was released on 2018-08-15 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Brief Account of Radio-activity by Francis Preston Venable The object of this brief treatise is to give a simple account of the development of our knowledge of radio-activity and its bearing on chemical and physical science. Mathematical processes will be omitted, as it is sufficient to give the assured results from calculations which are likely to be beyond the training of the reader. Experimental evidence will be given in detail wherever it is fundamental and necessary to a confident grasp of some of the marvelous deductions in this new branch of science. Theories cannot be avoided, but the facts remain while theories grow old and are discarded for others more in accord with the facts... We are delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. The aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature, and our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. The contents of the vast majority of titles in the Classic Library have been scanned from the original works. To ensure a high quality product, each title has been meticulously hand curated by our staff. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with a book that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work.

This book was released on 2018-02-11 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Introduction to the Science of Radio-Activity IN the following pages I have endeavoured to give a concise and popular account of the properties of the radio active elements and the theoretical conceptions which are introduced by the study of radio-active phenomena. This work, as its title indicates, does not claim to be more than an introduction to the subject, and no attempt has been made at exhaustive treatment. Following what has appeared to me to be the most lucid method of presenta tion, I have divided the subject into three parts: descrip tive, theoretical, and practical; the last being added in the hope that the comparatively simple experiments described may be of interest to those wishing to investi gate for themselves some of the remarkable properties of the radio-active elements.

Download or read book Radio Activity of Uranium Classic Reprint written by William Crookes and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-05 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Radio-Activity of Uranium The researches of M. Henri Becquerel have shown that compounds of uranium possess the property now called radio-activity; that is, rays emitted by them affect a sensitive photographic plate through bodies usually considered opaque to light; they discharge an electrometer when brought near it; and they are deflected by a magnet. These rays are now called "Becquerel rays," or "uranic rays." 2. On the discovery by M. and Mdme. Curie of polonium and radium, bodies of enormous radio-active powers, it was suggested that uranium might possibly owe its power to the presence of a small quantity of one of these bodies. But in a paper published in the Revue Generale des Sciences for January, 1899, Mdme. Curie says: - "This does not appear probable, for if such were the case different samples of uranium compounds would have very different radio-activities, but in the course of a number of experiments made with various samples of metallic uranium, as well as with oxides and salts from various sources, I have never found any marked difference between the relative activities of the same compound." In another paper the same author says that "the property of emitting rays... which act on photographic plates is a specific property of uranium and thorium." "The physical condition of the metal seems to be of an altogether secondary importance." "Uranium and thorium alone are practically active." 3. When the discovery of radium was announced, and it was said to have "to all appearance the properties of almost pure barium," it occurred to me that radium might be found in detectable quantities in some barium minerals were search made among them from different localities. Accordingly specimens of the following minerals were put on sensitive plates, a sheet of black paper separating them from the sensitive surface. As it was probable that the radio-active substance would be present, if at all, in very minute quantities, the sensitive plate was exposed to their influence for forty-eight hours.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Chemistry of the Radio-Elements Radioactivity has introduced into the science of chemistry a new conception. The radioactive elements are radio active because they are in progress of spontaneous change. The chemistry of the radio-elements is concerned largely with the nature of the products of these changes, their isolation and separate identification.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Practical Measurements in Radio-Activity Although researches into the nature of radio activity have proved one of the most fruitful means of investigating atomic phenomena, a study of the methods employed for making radio active measurements has not yet come to be regarded as an essential part of a course of practical physics or chemistry. This is no doubt to some extent due to a belief that a practical course must necessarily involve the use of large and costly amounts of radio-active material. This is, however, not the case, for it is possible to illustrate most of the principles of radio-activity by experiments made with simple apparatus using quite small quantities of radio-active material. To show how this can be done has been the main object of describing a number of experiments, many of which have been designed by Professor Rutherford as part of the course of practical work in the Honours School of Physics in the Manchester University and as an intro ductory course for students intending to undertake original investigations in radio-activity. It is hoped that this work may do something towards giving the subject a more pro minent position in laboratory courses, and thus teach students the technique of one of the most fascinating branches of modern science.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Radium and Radioactivity The properties peculiar to radium are traceable to the actions of the radiations. Such properties are' action on photographic plates, power of producing beautiful scintillations and coloured phosphorescence with zinc blende and certain other minerals, power to bring about many chemical actions, continual and relatively considerable evolution of heat, and various beneficial therapeutic actions which have resulted from its application in medicine. We, must, therefore, study these radiations with exactness, and must consider their mode of produc tion. The substances producing them are known.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Radioactive Transformations In the year 1883 a legacy of eighty thousand dollars was left to the President and Fellows of Yale College in the city of New Haven, to be held in trust, as a gift from her children, in memory of their beloved and honored mother Mrs. Hepsa Ely Silliman. On this foundation Yale College was requested and directed to establish an annual course of lectures designed to illustrate the presence and providence, the wisdom and goodness of God, as manifested in the natural and moral world. These were to be designated as the Mrs. Hepsa Ely Silliman Memorial Lectures. It was the belief of the testator that any orderly presentation of the facts of nature or history contributed to the end of this foundation more effectively than any attempt to emphasize the elements of doctrine or of creed; and he therefore provided that lectures on dogmatic or polemical theology should be excluded from the scope of this foundation, and that the subjects should be selected rather from the domains of natural science and history, giving special prominence to astronomy, chemistry, geology, and anatomy. It was further directed that each annual course should be made the basis of a volume to form part of a series constituting a memorial to Mrs. Silliman. The memorial fund came into the possession of the Corporation of Yale University in the year 1902; and the present volume constitutes the third of the series of memorial lectures.
