9781332207879: Ultraviolet Radiation (Classic Reprint): Its Properties, Production, Measurement, and Applications

Synopsis

The book provides a clear, practical look at ultraviolet radiation—its properties, how it is produced, how it is measured, and how it is used in science and industry. It covers a range of light sources, from spark gaps and arcs to gas discharges, and explains how researchers write spectra and map ultraviolet regions with quartz and fluorite windows.


You’ll find grounded, technique‑oriented discussions that stay focused on real experiments and the tools used to study UV radiation. The material is arranged to help readers understand both the fundamentals and the methods scientists employ to push the boundaries of ultraviolet research.



  • How ultraviolet light is generated in sparks, arcs, and discharge tubes, and how electrode materials affect spectra.

  • How spectra from hydrogen, oxygen, carbon monoxide, mercury vapor, and other gases are observed and interpreted.

  • How windows of quartz, fluorite, and different glass types extend or limit the ultraviolet range.

  • How measurement devices like radiometers, spectrographs, and related equipment are used in UV studies.


Ideal for readers interested in the science and practical applications of ultraviolet radiation, from basic research to instrumentation and measurement.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
