Sinossi
Discover the science behind radio-activity and how it reshaped atomic physics. This accessible introduction traces the birth of the field, from Becquerel’s surprising findings to Marie and Pierre Curie’s landmark work, and explains how radioactive elements reveal the inner structure of matter. You’ll learn what radium and related elements do, and how their rays help scientists probe the atom.
Radio-activity is explained in clear terms, with the experiments, discoveries, and ideas that shaped early research. The book blends history with core concepts, showing how researchers tested theories and built new models of the atom.
- How radio-active substances emit different kinds of rays and what those rays tell us about atomic structure
- The roles of radium, thorium, uranium, and polonium in early discoveries
- How scientists study radiation through electrical effects, ionisation, and spectroscopic observations
- Foundations of the electron theory as it relates to radio-activity and atomic disintegration
Ideal for readers curious about the origins of radio-activity, the history of science, and the basic physics that underpins modern atomic theory.

Valutazione del venditore 4 su 5 stelle
Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book, first published in 1908, explores the nascent science of radio-activity and its underlying theories. The author, a contemporary researcher in the field, presents an account of the discovery of uranium's radiating properties and the subsequent identification of other radioactive elements. Throughout the text, the author engages with the scientific debates of the time regarding the nature of the mysterious rays emitted by these elements. A detailed examination of the alpha, beta, and gamma rays is undertaken, with the author presenting the latest experimental evidence and theoretical interpretations available at the time of writing. Through its exploration of cutting-edge scientific research at the turn of the 20th century, this book offers a valuable insight into the history and development of our understanding of radioactivity.
