About the Book

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1906 edition. Excerpt: ... attention to the great importance of elucidating the true nature of the cathode rays. J. J. Thomson, in 1897, succeeded in completely demonstrating the general correctness of the material hypothesis of Crookes. The cathode rays did in truth consist of negatively charged particles, which moved in the vacuum tube at the enormous speed of about fifty thousand miles per second. But a most remarkable fact was brought to light. The mass of the particles of the cathode stream were extraordinarily small, only about 1/1000 of the mass of the hydrogen atom. This was a great advance for it indicated that the atom was not the smallest subdivision of matter. These "corpuscles" or "electrons" thus behaved as the bodies of smallest mass known to science. J. J. Thomson soon showed that electrons of the same small mass could be produced from different kinds of matter in a variety of ways. Electrons, for example, are freely emitted from the incandescent carbon filament of an electric lamp; they are emitted also from a metal plate exposed to the action of ultraviolet light. In these cases an external agent like the electric discharge, heat or light is required to set free these electrons from matter, but a still further advance was made when it was found that electrons of exactly the same mass were emitted from radium and other radioactive substances without any external stimulus. The radioactive bodies are continuously engaged in the apparently congenial task of spontaneously hurling electrons from their mass with velocities much greater than can be impressed on the electrons set free in a vacuum tube. The discovery of Zeeman, coupled with the electronic theory of Lorentz, still further broadened the field of application of electronic theories. The...
