Radioactive Substances And Their Radiations is a scientific book written by Ernest Rutherford in 1913. The book is a comprehensive study of the properties and behavior of radioactive substances, including their radiation and the effects they have on matter. The author, who was a renowned physicist and chemist, discusses the discovery of radioactivity, the nature of alpha, beta, and gamma rays, and the different types of radioactive decay. The book also covers the use of radioactive substances in medical and industrial applications. Rutherford explains the principles of radiation therapy and the use of radioactive isotopes in the treatment of cancer. He also discusses the use of radioactive materials in the manufacturing of luminous paints, X-ray tubes, and other industrial applications. Throughout the book, Rutherford provides detailed explanations of the scientific principles involved in the study of radioactivity. He uses clear language and examples to make the subject accessible to readers with a basic understanding of physics and chemistry. The book is an important historical document in the field of nuclear physics and remains a valuable resource for scientists, students, and anyone interested in the study of radioactivity.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
