Soap-Bubbles And The Forces Which Mold Them: Being A Course Of Three Lectures Delivered In The Theater Of The London (1896)

by Charles V. Boys

Book Overview

""Soap-Bubbles And The Forces Which Mold Them"" is a book written by Charles V. Boys, originally published in 1896. The book is based on a series of three lectures delivered by the author at the London Institution in the same year. The lectures explore the science behind soap bubbles and the forces that shape them. The book is divided into three parts, each corresponding to one of the lectures. The first part discusses the physical properties of soap bubbles, including their surface tension and elasticity. The second part delves into the mathematical principles that govern the formation and behavior of soap bubbles, such as the law of Laplace and the principle of least action. The third and final part explores the practical applications of soap bubbles, including their use in measuring surface tension and in creating optical illusions.Throughout the book, Boys uses simple language and clear explanations to make the science of soap bubbles accessible to a general audience. He also includes numerous illustrations and diagrams to help readers visualize the concepts he discusses. Overall, ""Soap-Bubbles And The Forces Which Mold Them"" is a fascinating and informative exploration of a seemingly simple phenomenon that is actually governed by complex scientific principles.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
