The Constitution And Functions Of Gases, The Nature Of Radiance, And The Law Of Radiation A Treatise (1895)

The book titled ""The Constitution And Functions Of Gases, The Nature Of Radiance, And The Law Of Radiation: A Treatise"" written by Severinus J. Corrigan in 1895 is a comprehensive guide to the study of gases, radiance, and radiation laws. The book is divided into three sections covering the constitution and functions of gases, the nature of radiance, and the law of radiation, respectively.The first section of the book delves into the physical properties of gases, their behavior under different conditions, and their molecular structure. The author explores the laws that govern the behavior of gases, such as Boyle's law, Charles's law, and Avogadro's law. The section also includes discussions on the kinetic theory of gases and the laws of thermodynamics.The second section of the book focuses on the nature of radiance, which is the emission and propagation of electromagnetic waves. The author discusses the properties of light, including its wave-particle duality, and the different types of electromagnetic radiation, such as visible light, infrared radiation, and ultraviolet radiation. The section also covers the principles of spectroscopy and the measurement of light intensity.The final section of the book deals with the law of radiation, which describes the relationship between the temperature of an object and the radiation it emits. The author explains the Stefan-Boltzmann law, which states that the total energy radiated by a blackbody is proportional to the fourth power of its temperature. The section also includes discussions on the Planck's law of radiation and the Wien's displacement law.Overall, ""The Constitution And Functions Of Gases, The Nature Of Radiance, And The Law Of Radiation: A Treatise"" is a valuable resource for students and researchers in the fields of physics, chemistry, and engineering. The book provides a thorough understanding of the fundamental principles governing the behavior of gases and the nature of electromagnetic radiation.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
