A Verification Of The Theory Of Brownian Movements And A Direct Determination Of The Value Of NE For Gaseous Ionization (1911)

by Harvey Fletcher

Book Overview

""A Verification Of The Theory Of Brownian Movements And A Direct Determination Of The Value Of NE For Gaseous Ionization"" is a scientific book written by Harvey Fletcher and published in 1911. The book presents the results of Fletcher's experiments on Brownian motion and gaseous ionization, which were conducted at the University of Chicago. The first part of the book describes Fletcher's experiments on Brownian motion, which is the random movement of small particles suspended in a fluid. Fletcher's experiments aimed to verify the mathematical theory of Brownian motion developed by Albert Einstein and to measure the size of the particles in the suspension. The book presents the results of these experiments, which confirmed the theory and provided new insights into the behavior of Brownian particles.The second part of the book focuses on Fletcher's experiments on gaseous ionization, which is the process by which a gas becomes ionized and conducts electricity. Fletcher's experiments aimed to determine the value of the constant NE, which relates the number of ions produced in a gas to the energy of the ionizing particles. The book presents the results of these experiments, which provided a direct measurement of NE and confirmed the validity of existing theories of gaseous ionization.Overall, ""A Verification Of The Theory Of Brownian Movements And A Direct Determination Of The Value Of NE For Gaseous Ionization"" is an important contribution to the fields of physics and chemistry, providing new insights into the behavior of small particles and the properties of ionized gases.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
