Publisher's Synopsis
The Reflection Of Cathode Rays From Thin Metallic Films is a scientific book authored by Samuel Robinson Williams and published in 1906. The book explores the phenomenon of cathode rays, which are streams of electrons that are emitted from a cathode in a vacuum tube. Williams focuses specifically on the reflection of these rays from thin metallic films, which had not been extensively studied at the time of the book's publication.The book is divided into several chapters, each of which covers a different aspect of cathode ray reflection. Williams begins by providing an overview of the properties of cathode rays and the equipment used to study them. He then goes on to describe his experiments with thin metallic films, including the methods he used to measure the reflection of cathode rays and the results he obtained.Throughout the book, Williams provides detailed descriptions of his experimental procedures and the equipment he used, as well as his observations and conclusions. He also includes numerous illustrations and diagrams to help readers visualize the phenomena he is describing.Overall, The Reflection Of Cathode Rays From Thin Metallic Films is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of physics or the study of cathode rays 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.
