QR code
"Radiation" by P. Phillips is a scientific publication written in the early 20th century. The book explores the principles and phenomena associated with radiant energy, including heat and light, and delves into the underlying theories such as the electromagnetic nature of radiation and its properties. The text appears to be structured as an educational resource, likely aimed at students or enthusiasts in the fields of physics and engineering. The opening of the
work introduces the concept of radiation by comparing the energy in ocean waves to that found in radiant energy from the sun, emphasizing that the latter contains far more energy. It proceeds to discuss the fundamental similarities between light and heat, explaining physical theories like the corpuscular and wave theories, alongside practical experiments that illustrate their properties. The author sets the stage for a comprehensive examination of topics such as wave behavior, the spectrum, laws of radiation, and various other critical aspects, signaling a detailed exploration of the field of radiation and its scientific implications.
