Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Sunbeam and the Spectrascope: Read Before the Albany Institute, Feb. 17th, 1863 If a sunbeam be allowed to enter a darkened room, it falls on the floor and forms a disc of bright light. This is radi ated to the eye which conveys the impression to the brain, and the phenomenon of vision is established. Should the hand he placed in the track of the sunbeam, the sensation of warmth is communicated, and we feel there is heat in the ray. If a piece of paper covered over with chloride of silver, which is purely white, be placed so that the sunbeam falls upon it, a darkened track will be immediately produced over the space the sun's ray has passed, it has liberated the chlorine, leaving the metallic silver. Such remarkable phenomena teach us that we have to deal with agencies in the solar rays, which are in their visi ble effects very dissimilar.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Spectroscope: And Its Work Spectroscopic Analysis clear and simple for beginners, but at the same time accurate, and as complete as pos sible within so limited a space - following, in this respect, the plan already adopted in my elementary treatises on Astronomy and Physical Geography. In order to make room for subjects properly belonging to Spectroscopy, several subjects which are very fully treated of in large works on the Spectroscope (and indeed in one not containing more letterpress than the present) have been dealt with very briefly. It seems to me that - to mention but one such subject - full accounts of the various contrivances for obtaining in tense heat and light, such as that with which Schellen occupies the first fifty-two pages of his treatise on Spectrum Analysis, are unsuitable even for large works intended for the general student, and are altogether out of place in an elementary treatise, necessarily limited in size. I doubt, indeed, whether anything can be usefully said in textbooks respecting details of the con struction of instruments which the observer (who alone could profit by such explanations) must possess and employ. A few minutes devoted to the examination of the instrument itself will, in such a case, be of more use than many hours' study of textbook explanations. On the other hand, I have endeavoured to give a full account of all the principles on which the application of Spectroscopy depends, as also of all the chief methods of observation and then results. I am greatly indebted to Mr. J. Browning, the emi nent Optician, for the use of many cuts illustrating various forms of Spectroscopes, and their adjuncts.

Download or read book The Spectroscope in Medicine Classic Reprint written by Charles Alexander Macmunn and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-03 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Spectroscope in Medicine The Spectroscope seems likely to be of almost as great use in Medicine as it has already proved in terrestrial, solar, and stellar Chemistry. Hitherto the great hindrances to its use have been erroneous ideas as to the difficulties which seem to surround this method of investigation; such ideas having arisen from want of a simple treatise on the in strument and its applications to Physiology and Pathology. In the following pages such information will be found, and the publication of this little book will, I trust, lead to a more extended use of the spectroscope, which has already done good work in Physiology and Pathology, and has corrected many erroneous ideas regarding various animal pigments.

Download or read book Color Theory and Its Application in Art and Design written by George A. Agoston and published by Springer. This book was released on 2013-06-05 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book directly addresses a long-felt, unsatisfied need of modern color science - an appreciative and technically sound presentation of the principles and main offerings of colorimetry to artists and designers, written by one of them. With his unique blend of training and experience in engineering, with his lifelong interest and, latterly, career in art and art education, Dr. Agoston is unusually well prepared to convey the message of color science to art and design. His book fulfills the hopes I had when I first heard about him and his book. I foresee important and long-lasting impacts of this book, analogous to those of the epoch-making writings by earlier artist-scientists, such as Leonardo, Chevreul, Munsell, and Pope. Nearly all persons who have contributed to color science, recently as well as formerly, were attracted to the study of color by color in art. Use of objective or scientific methods did not result from any cold, detached attitude, but from the inherent difficulties of the problems concerning color and its use, by which they were intrigued. Modern education and experience has taught many people how to tackle difficult problems by use of scientific methods. Therefore - color science.

Download or read book Something Incredibly Wonderful Happens written by K.C. Cole and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2012-09-01 with total page 421 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How do we reclaim our innate enchantment with the world? And how can we turn our natural curiosity into a deep, abiding love for knowledge? Frank Oppenheimer, the younger brother of the physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer, was captivated by these questions, and used his own intellectual inquisitiveness to found the Exploratorium, a powerfully influential museum of human awareness in San Francisco, that encourages play, creativity, and discovery—all in the name of understanding. In this elegant biography, K. C. Cole investigates the man behind the museum with sharp insight and deep sympathy. The Oppenheimers were a family with great wealth and education, and Frank, like his older brother, pursued a career in physics. But while Robert was unceasingly ambitious, and eventually came to be known for his work on the atomic bomb, Frank’s path as a scientist was much less conventional. His brief fling with the Communist Party cost him his position at the University of Minnesota, and he subsequently spent a decade ranching in Colorado before returning to teaching. Once back in the lab, however, Frank found himself moved to create something to make the world meaningful after the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. He was inspired by European science museums, and he developed a dream of teaching Americans about science through participatory museums. Thus was born the magical world of the Exploratorium, forever revolutionizing not only the way we experience museums, but also science education for years to come. Cole has brought this charismatic and dynamic figure to life with vibrant prose and rich insight into Oppenheimer as both a scientist and an individual.
