Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the 1908 proposal by Waidner and Burgess for a reproducible standard of light, finally realized through the brightness of a hollow inclosure of fused thorium oxide immersed in freezing platinum. The authors discuss the history of black body standards, the challenges faced by previous researchers, and the significance of their findings. The book delves into the technical details of the experiment, including the apparatus, methods, and results, and explores the implications of the findings for the definition and maintenance of the international standard of light. This book is a valuable resource for researchers and practitioners in photometry, illuminating engineering, and related fields, providing a comprehensive understanding of the development and significance of black body standards in lighting.
