Baltimore Lectures On Molecular Dynamics And The Wave Theory Of Light

The ""Baltimore Lectures On Molecular Dynamics And The Wave Theory Of Light"" is a book written by William Thomson, also known as Lord Kelvin, a Scottish physicist and mathematician. The book is a compilation of lectures he delivered at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland in 1884. The book discusses two main topics: molecular dynamics and the wave theory of light. In the first part of the book, Thomson explains the principles of molecular dynamics and how it relates to the behavior of gases, liquids, and solids. He also discusses the laws of thermodynamics and their application to various physical systems.The second part of the book focuses on the wave theory of light, which was a controversial topic at the time. Thomson explains the properties of light waves, including their interference and diffraction, and how they relate to the principles of electromagnetism. He also discusses the experiments that led to the acceptance of the wave theory of light over the particle theory.Overall, the ""Baltimore Lectures On Molecular Dynamics And The Wave Theory Of Light"" is a comprehensive and informative book that provides insights into the fundamental principles of physics. It is a valuable resource for students and researchers interested in the history of physics and the development of scientific theories.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
