Publisher's Synopsis
The Theory of Ionization of Gases by Collision is a scientific book written by John S. Townsend and first published in 1910. The book explores the theoretical basis for the ionization of gases, which occurs when neutral gas particles are transformed into charged particles through collisions with other particles or radiation. Townsend presents a comprehensive analysis of the phenomenon, including the factors that influence ionization, such as gas pressure, temperature, and the nature of the gas molecules. He also discusses the experimental methods used to study ionization and the practical applications of the theory in areas such as electrical discharge and gas-filled tubes. The book is considered a seminal work in the field of plasma physics and remains a valuable resource for researchers and students in the field.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
