Publisher's Synopsis
The Electron: Its Isolation And Measurement And The Determination Of Some Of Its Properties is a scientific book written by Robert Andrews Millikan and published in 1917. The book is focused on the study of electrons, their isolation and measurement, and the determination of some of their properties. The book is divided into two parts. The first part deals with the isolation and measurement of electrons. It explains the methods used to isolate electrons from other particles and how to measure their charge and mass. The author also discusses the results of his experiments on the charge of an electron, which he determined to be 1.592 x 10^-19 coulombs.The second part of the book is focused on the determination of some of the properties of electrons. The author discusses the behavior of electrons in electric and magnetic fields and how they interact with other particles. He also explains the concept of the electron's wave nature and its relation to its properties.Overall, The Electron: Its Isolation And Measurement And The Determination Of Some Of Its Properties is a seminal work in the field of physics, providing a comprehensive understanding of electrons and their properties. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the study of subatomic particles and their behavior.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
