Publisher's Synopsis
The Origin of Spectra, written by Paul D. Foote and published in 1922, is a scientific book that explores the origins and properties of spectra. Spectra are the colors of light that are emitted or absorbed by different materials, and Foote's book delves into the physics and chemistry behind these phenomena.The book is divided into three parts: the first part discusses the basic principles of spectra and their measurement, the second part explores the spectra of various elements and compounds, and the third part looks at the applications of spectra in various fields, including astronomy, chemistry, and medicine.Foote's writing is clear and concise, making complex scientific concepts accessible to readers with a basic understanding of physics and chemistry. He includes numerous diagrams and illustrations to aid in understanding the material.Overall, The Origin of Spectra is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the science of light and color, and it remains an important reference work in the field of spectroscopy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
