Inhaltsangabe

The book ""The Electron: Its Isolation And Measurement And The Determination Of Some Of Its Properties"" by Robert Andrews Millikan was published in 1917. The book is a scientific study on the electron, a fundamental particle of matter with a negative charge. Millikan's research focuses on the isolation and measurement of electrons and the determination of some of their properties, such as their charge and mass. The book is divided into several chapters, each covering a specific aspect of the electron. The first chapter provides an introduction to the electron, its discovery, and its importance in modern physics. The subsequent chapters discuss Millikan's experiments and findings on the measurement of electron charge, the determination of electron mass, and the properties of electrons in motion. The book's content is highly technical and requires a strong background in physics and mathematics. However, it is considered a seminal work in the field of physics and has been cited extensively in subsequent research. Millikan's research on the electron was crucial in the development of modern physics and laid the foundation for further studies on particle physics. Overall, ""The Electron: Its Isolation And Measurement And The Determination Of Some Of Its Properties"" is a significant contribution to the field of physics and remains an important reference for researchers and students in the field.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Reseña del editor

It is hoped that this volume may be of some interest both to the physicist and to the reader of somewhat less technical training. It has been thought desirable for the sake of both classes of readers, not to break the thread of the discussion in the body of the book with the detailed analyses which the careful student demands. It is for this reason that all mathematical proofs have been thrown into appendixes. I f, in spite of this, the general student finds certain chapters, such as vii and viii, unintelligible, it is hoped that without them he may yet gain some idea of certain phases at least of the progress of modern physics.
