Radiation

"Radiation" by Percy Phillips is an early 20th-century science book investigating radiant energy, such as heat and light, and the electromagnetic theories that explain it. The publication seems designed for physics and engineering students, starting by relating ocean wave power to the sun's radiant energy. It highlights the likenesses between light and heat, while also talking about the corpuscular and wave theories. The experiments that are mentioned show the properties in action. As the reader progresses through the chapters, they begin to expect a full look at wave action, the radiation spectrum, and relevant scientific laws that govern how radiation works.
