Synopsis
Excerpt from Sound, Light and Heat
The experiments demand no expensive apparatus; the aim has been to avoid elaborate instruments; descriptions of the apparatus used, appear in the book or in the Appendix. Many of the engravings are copied from pieces of apparatus in use.
The results obtained from the experiments make no claim to great accuracy. The student should avoid attaching to his calculations greater value than they deserve; he should consider the apparatus with which he works; it is a strong temptation to calculate to five or six places of decimals when probably not more than the first place can be relied upon.
While attempts have been made to prevent the student forming notions at variance with modern theories, little Space has been given to such theories. A beginner's time is best spent in examining the facts of science.
Numerous examples are given frequently throughout the work; Science has been slow in copying from Arithmetic in this matter. A large number of the examples are selected from Examination papers they include the whole of the ques tions in the elementary papers of the Science and Art Depart ment during the last nine years.
