Description
Radiation, by P Phillips, is a short textbook on radiant heat and light for students of physics. It was published in London in 1912.
The first chapter argues that heat and light share the same nature, both crossing empty space from the sun and bending and bouncing in the same ways. Chapters follow on drawing waves, the meaning of the spectrum, and the laws that govern radiation. Full radiation, the change of soaked-up radiation into other forms, and the pressure that radiation exerts each get a chapter. The last chapter links radiant heat to electric waves, the bridge on which the physics of the day was crossing toward the modern picture. An index closes the book.
