Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'X-Rays and Electrons' is a seminal scientific treatise by Nobel laureate Arthur H. Compton that explores the fundamental properties of X-rays and their complex interactions with matter. Written at a pivotal moment in the history of physics, this work provides an in-depth analysis of the scattering of X-rays by electrons-a phenomenon that became known as the Compton effect and provided crucial evidence for the particle-like nature of radiation.The text meticulously details experimental findings and theoretical frameworks regarding the structure of the atom, the distribution of electrons, and the diffraction and reflection of X-rays. By bridging classical electromagnetic theory with the emerging field of quantum mechanics, Compton offers a comprehensive look at how radiation behaves at the atomic level. This work serves as an essential primary source for understanding the development of modern physics and the experimental breakthroughs that redefined our understanding of light and energy. It is an invaluable resource for scholars, students of physics, and those interested in the history of scientific discovery.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

79 pp. 4to. 79 pp. 4to. This symposium, held on November 15, 1945, only three months after the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, included Oppenheimer on atomic weapons, HD Smyth on the history of atomic energy, Enrico Fermi on the first chain-reacting pile, John Wheeler on particle research, and Arthur Compton on the future of atomic energy. Just a month prior, Oppenheimer had resigned from his position at Los Alamos, having grown uneasy about his work on the project, the death toll, the subsequent radiation sickness, and the general ramifications of nuclear energy. This unease is apparent in his speech: "Atomic weapons are based on things that are in the very frontier of physics; their development is inextricably entangled with the growth of physics, as in all probability with that of the biological sciences, and many practical arts.[W]e have made a thing, a most terrible weapon, that has altered abruptly and profoundly the nature of the world. And by doing so, by our participation in making it possible to make these things, we have raised again the question of whether science is good for man, of whether it is good to learn about the world, to try to understand it, to try to control it, to help give to the world of men increased insight, inscreased power." "No one who heard [his speech] ever forgot the eloquence and deep emotion with which he pictured the destructiveness of the bomb or the force of his call for international control of this new awesome development" (Bacher). This powerful publication on the implications of nuclear energy is rare in the market.

Lancaster, The Physical Review, 1923. Royal8vo. Contemp. full buckram. In:"The Physical Review", Series II, vol. 21. (4),736 pp., Plates and textillustr. (Entire volume offered). A perforated stamp in upper margin on a few leaves. Compton's paper: pp. (483-) 501. First printing of this milestone paper in quantum physics in which Compton verifies Planck's quantum postulate and found that some of the X-rays had, in scattering, lenghtened their wavelenght. This phenomena was called the "Compton Effect" in his honour. For this discovery Compton received the Nobel prize in physics in 1927."Compton was able to account for this (lenghtening of wavelenght) by presuming that a photon of light struch an electron, which recoiled, subtracting some energy from the photon and therefore increasing its wavelenght. This made it seem that a photon acted as a particle: thus after more than a century, the particulate natuer of light, as evolved by Newton, was revived. What itamounted to was that Compton brought to fruition the view that electromagnetic radiation had both a wave aspect and a particle aspect, and that the aspect which was most evident depended on how the radiation was tested. De Broglie was, at the same time, showing that this held true also for ordinary particles, such as electrons."
