Researches In Physical Optics, Part 1: With Especial Reference To The Radiation Of Electrons (1913) is a scientific book written by Robert Williams Wood. The book is focused on the field of physical optics and its relation to the radiation of electrons. It is divided into several parts, each exploring different aspects of the subject matter.The first part of the book discusses the theory of radiation and its various properties. It explores the nature of electromagnetic waves and their interaction with matter, as well as the principles of wave propagation and interference.The second part of the book is concerned with the experimental methods used to study radiation and its properties. It discusses various techniques for measuring the properties of electromagnetic waves, including diffraction, polarization, and interference.The third part of the book focuses on the radiation of electrons and its relationship to physical optics. It explores the phenomenon of cathode rays and their properties, as well as the principles of electron diffraction and interference.Throughout the book, Wood provides detailed explanations of the various concepts and principles of physical optics, and provides numerous examples and illustrations to help the reader understand the material. The book is a valuable resource for students and researchers in the field of optics and electromagnetism.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
