The Electron: Its Isolation And Measurement And The Determination Of Some Of Its Properties (1917) (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781165105328)

The book ""The Electron: Its Isolation And Measurement And The Determination Of Some Of Its Properties"" by Robert Andrews Millikan was published in 1917. The book is a scientific study on the electron, a fundamental particle of matter with a negative charge. Millikan's research focuses on the isolation and measurement of electrons and the determination of some of their properties, such as their charge and mass. The book is divided into several chapters, each covering a specific aspect of the electron. The first chapter provides an introduction to the electron, its discovery, and its importance in modern physics. The subsequent chapters discuss Millikan's experiments and findings on the measurement of electron charge, the determination of electron mass, and the properties of electrons in motion. The book's content is highly technical and requires a strong background in physics and mathematics. However, it is considered a seminal work in the field of physics and has been cited extensively in subsequent research. Millikan's research on the electron was crucial in the development of modern physics and laid the foundation for further studies on particle physics. Overall, ""The Electron: Its Isolation And Measurement And The Determination Of Some Of Its Properties"" is a significant contribution to the field of physics and remains an important reference for researchers and students in the field.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
