Excerpt from On Variations in the Conductivity of Air Enclosed in Metallic Receivers
The object of the present Investigation, therefore, was to observe the conductivity of the air confined in metallic vessels possessing little if any radioactive impurity and from the results to determine, if pos sible, what portion of the ionization was due to an intrinsic activity in the metal.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the variations in the conductivity of air enclosed in metallic receivers. The author, a respected scientist, presents a series of experiments conducted to determine the extent to which various factors contribute to the ionization of air in closed metallic vessels. Through meticulous observations and innovative experimental setups, the author uncovers the influence of penetrating radiation from the earth, secondary rays, radioactive impurities, and intrinsic radiation from the metals themselves. The results challenge prevailing assumptions and shed new light on the nature of radioactivity in metals. Ultimately, this book contributes to a deeper understanding of the fundamental properties of matter and the interactions between radiation and materials. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781334260896_0
