By William Henry Bragg

Book Overview

""Studies in Radioactivity"" is a scientific book written by William Henry Bragg and first published in 1912. The book is a comprehensive study of the phenomenon of radioactivity, which was a relatively new field of study at the time. Bragg, a British physicist, was a pioneer in the study of radioactivity and made significant contributions to the field. The book is divided into several chapters, each of which explores a different aspect of radioactivity. Bragg begins by discussing the properties of radioactive substances and the various types of radiation they emit. He then goes on to describe the methods used to measure radioactivity, including the use of photographic plates and ionization chambers. The book also covers the effects of radiation on living organisms, including the harmful effects of prolonged exposure. Bragg discusses the potential uses of radioactivity in medicine, including the treatment of cancer. Throughout the book, Bragg presents his findings in a clear, concise manner, making it accessible to both scientists and non-scientists alike. The book is an important historical document, providing insight into the early days of the study of radioactivity and the contributions of one of its leading figures.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
