  • The Corpuscular Theory of Matter

    J. J. Thomson

    Paperback (Forgotten Books, June 13, 2012)
    Koyal Institution in theS pring of 1906. It contains a description of the properties of corpuscles and their application to the explanation of some physical phenomena. In the earlier chapters a considerable amount of attention is devoted to the consideration of the theory that many oe the properties of metals are due to the motion of corpuscles diffused throughout the metal. This theory has received strong support from the investigations of Drude and Lorentz ;the former has shown that the theory gives an approximately correct value for the ratio of the thermal and electrical conductivities of pure metals and the latter that it accounts for the long-wave radiation from hot bodies. I give reasons for thinking that the theory in its usual form requires the presence of so many corpuscles that their specific heat would exceed the actual specific heat of the metal. I have proposed a modification of the theory which is not open to this objection and which makes the ratio of the conductivities and the long-wave radiation of the right magnitude. The later chapters contain a discussion of the properties of an atom built up of corpuscles and of positive electricity, the positive electricity being supposed to occupy a much larger volume than the corpuscles. The properties of an atom of this kind are shown to resemble in many respects those of the atoms of the chemical elements.(Typographical errors above are due to OCR software and don't occur in the book.)About the Publisher Forgotten Books is a publisher of historical writings, such as: Philosophy, Classics, Science, Religion, History, Folklore and Mythology.Forgotten Books' Classic Reprint Series utilizes the latest technology to regenerate facsimiles of historically important writings.
