On Radiant Matter (Classic Reprint): A Lecture Delivered to the British Association for the Advancement of Science, at Sheffield, Friday, August 22, ... Friday, August 22, 1879 (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Inhaltsangabe
Discover how a famous experiment probes matter at extreme emptiness and reveals a fourth state of matter. This edition guides you through ideas that connect early gas theory to dramatic visible effects, from luminous phosphorescence to focused heat and motion.
In the lecture, the author explains how gases under very low pressure behave differently, allowing molecules to move largely without collisions. He introduces Radiant Matter as a distinct state and shows how it can illuminate, cast shadows, and even move light objects. The demonstrations range from glowing glass and minerals to vivid focal heating, all driven by a highly exhausted gas environment.
- See how the mean free path of molecules changes with pressure and why that matters for observing new phenomena.
- Learn how Radiant Matter excites phosphorescence in glass and other substances, and which materials respond most vividly.
- Explore how shadows, focal lines, and mechanical effects reveal the power of molecular streams.
- Understand how heat and chemical interactions emerge in high vacuum during these experiments.
Ideal for readers curious about the origins of modern ideas on matter, vacuum physics, and early radiometric demonstrations from the 19th century edition.

Verkäuferbewertung 4 von 5 Sternen
Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating world of "radiant matter," a term coined by the renowned scientist Michael Faraday in the early 19th century. Through meticulous research and insightful analysis, the author explores the unique properties and behavior of matter in a highly rarefied state, where the average molecule can travel unimpeded by collisions. The author traces the historical evolution of our understanding of gases, from their early characterization as impalpable substances to the modern view of them as collections of countless molecules in constant motion. By examining the phenomena observed in vacuum tubes at extremely low pressures, the author sheds light on the intriguing characteristics of radiant matter, including its ability to induce phosphorescence, cast shadows, and exert mechanical force. Moreover, the book investigates the interaction between radiant matter and magnetic fields, revealing the remarkable influence of magnetism on the trajectories of these energized particles. The author also delves into the chemical nature of radiant matter, demonstrating that even at such extreme levels of rarefaction, molecules retain their distinct chemical identities. Ultimately, this book offers profound insights into the fundamental nature of matter and the intricate interplay between matter and energy. It invites readers to contemplate the vastness of the molecular world and the extraordinary phenomena that occur at the very edge of our scientific understanding.
