First appearance of this important paper in which the ""Lummer-Gehrcke interferometer"" was presented for the first time. ""Since Lummer fringes are the result of differences in path length of many wavelengths, Lummer arrived at the idea, in 1901, of developing the plane parallel plates into a spectroscope of the highest resolution. This device had the advantage of possessing greater resolving power than the interferometer produced in 1897 by Fabry and Perot. The considerable drawback of low luminous intensity, caused by the glancing incidence of the light, was eliminated in 1902 by Gehrcke, who cemented a prism to the plate with Canada balsam. The new apparatus, for which Lummerproposed the name Lummer-Gehrcke interference spectroscope, proved to be an excellent tool for spectroscopy and superior to the simple line grating."" (DSB)Lummer-Gehrcke interferometer is a multiple-beam interferometer similar to the Fabry-Perot etalon, but using light at a steep angle of incidence. The interferometer consists of a long plate of glass or quartz, with faces that are polished accurately flat and parallel. Light bounces back and forth inside the plate, striking the faces at an angle just below the critical angle as it propagates along. Because of the steep angle of incidence, nearly all of the light is reflected, but a tiny fraction leaks out on each bounce.

Lexique - Les travaux de Cavendish - Bibliographie - Henry Cavendish, né le 10 octobre 1731 à Nice (alors dans le comté de Nice du royaume de Sardaigne) et mort le 24 février 1810 à Londres, est un physicien et chimiste britannique. Il est notamment célèbre pour ses travaux sur la mesure de la constante de gravitation. - Cavendish est l'un des fondateurs de la chimie, car il a introduit dans cette science des méthodes de travail inconnues avant lui. En 1766, il présente devant la Société Royale de Londres, dont il est devenu membre, un premier mémoire intitulé On Factitious Airs (« Sur les airs factices »). Il y établit l'existence de gaz autres que l'air, et montre que l'hydrogène (inflamable air, « air inflammable ») qu'il a isolé le premier, pèse dix fois moins que l'air atmosphérique (common air, « air commun »). Il y montre encore que le gaz carbonique (fixed air, « air lié ») pèse moitié plus et que la présence de ce dernier dans l'atmosphère en quantité appréciable suffit pour empêcher les combustions et causer la mort. En 1783 il fait une analyse de l'air plus précise que celle de Lavoisier et, l'année suivante, il reconnaît que l'eau est le produit de la combinaison de l'hydrogène et de l'oxygène. En 1785, il combine l'azote et l'oxygène en soumettant un mélange de ces gaz à des étincelles électriques. Cavendish fait en même temps des expériences de physique. Il s'intéresse de près et contribue au développement des sciences naissantes de l'électricité et du magnétisme, inspiré en ces matières par l'uvre de John Michell. En 1776 il fabrique une bouteille de Leyde en forme de torpille artificielle pour montrer que les chocs de la raie torpille sont de nature électrique. En 1798 il publie un mémoire où il explique comment il a mesuré, au moyen de sa balance de torsion, la constante de gravitation de Newton et comment il en a déduit la densité moyenne de la Terre. - Avant tout le monde il a défini les chaleurs massiques et les chaleurs latentes et a eu l'idée de la conservation de l'énergie. Avant Charles-Augustin Coulomb il a étudié les forces électrostatiques, observé l'électrisation superficielle des conducteurs, défini la capacité électrique et pressenti la notion de potentiel électrique. Avant Georg Ohm il a conçu la résistance électrique ; il a même effectué des mesures en utilisant son propre corps comme galvanomètre.

First edition of the seminal paper, in which Mach laid the basis for the principles of supersonics, determined the ""sonic boom"", demonstrated an object's speed relative to the speed of sound, now called the ""Mach number"" of an object, and presented the first photograph of a shock wave in front of an object moving at supersonic speed.""Between 1873 and 1893 Mach and various collaborators, including his son Ludwig, devised and perfected optical and photographic techniques to study sound waves and the wave propulsion and gas dynamics of projectiles, meteorites, explosions, and gas jets. Stimulated by the remarks of the Belgian artillerist Henri Melsens, in 1881 Mach undertook to study the flight of projectiles by means of photographic techniques that he had already devised for other experiments in his Prague laboratory. His celebrated 1887 paper on supersonics was published jointly with P. Salcher of the Marine Academy of Fiume (now Rijeka, Yougoslavia) in the ""Sitzungsberichte"" of the Academy of Sciences of Vienna. The experiments described in this classic paper were carried out in Fiume with the support of the Austrian Royal Navy."" (D.S.B., VIII: 597). In this highly influential paper, Mach demonstrates, with the aid of his photograph of a bullet in flight and the shock wave produced by the gas around the tip of it (the first such picture in history), that the angle which the shock wave makes with the direction of its motion is related to the speed of sound and to the speed of the projectile. This angle is called the Mach angle (coined by Ludwig Prandtl in 1907). This discovery turned out to be of ground-breaking character, and in 1929 J. Ackeret suggested to use the term ""Mach number"" for the value of the ratio of the speed of an object to the speed of sound, recognizing the profound effect that this discovery had on aerodynamics for high-speed projectile studies. ""The Mach number was introduced into the literature in English by the late 1930's and since the end of World War II has taken on considerable importance in theoretical and fluid dynamics."" (D.S.B., VIII: 597). Unlike most other units of measure, the number in this case comes after the name of the unit, making the second Mach number not ""2 Mach"", but ""Mach 2"". The ""Mach 2"" thus indicates a velocity of twice the speed of sound. Mach here also determines the effect of an object that travels past the speed of sound, namely the ""sonic boom"". ""By 1885 Mach had worked out the details of supersonic motion, along the way developing high-speed photographic techniques. Most importantly for engineers, Mach Number is the ratio of the speed of sound in the given medium to the speed of the projectile"" his work is essential to modern aerodynamics, and through it the word 'Mach' has bizarrely entered into popular culture as an icon for razors, sound systems, fighter pilots, and high speed fuels."" (Stanford Encyclopaedia of Philosophy).The Austrian physicist and philosopher Ernst Mach was highly influential among his contemporaries and is famous for the impact he had on the Vienna Circle. Though his main contribution to physics lies in his seminal description and photographs of the shock waves and his descriptions of how passing the speed of sound compressed air in front of projectiles, his more general contributions to philosophy and science were also immense. He was an early devotee of an extreme form of positivism, and his passionate ways of expounding his theories and his success as a polemicist and popularizer influenced an entire generation of scientists towards a profound skepticism that even extended into the use of abstract mathematics as an element of physical theories. He was highly critical of physical science and tried to free it from all elements that were not verifiable by sensory experience. ""Ernst Mach (18 Februrary, 1838 - 19 February, 1916), made major contributions to, physics, philosophy, and physiological psychology. In physics, the speed of sound bears his name, as he was the first to systematically study super-sonic motion. He also made important contributions to understanding the Doppler effect. His critique of Newtonian ideas of absolute space and time were an inspiration to the young Einstein, who credited Mach as being the philosophical forerunner of relativity theory. His systematic skepticism of the old physics was similarly important to a generation of young German physicists."" (Stanford Encyclopaedia of Philosophy).

---- PREMIERE EDITION FRANCAISE ---- BON EXEMPLAIRE GRAND DE MARGES ---- "Maclaurin was educated at the University of Glasgow and at 19 was made professor of mathematics at Aberdeen. Two years later, he was admitted F.R.S. and made the acquaintance of Newton. In 1722, he went to France and won the prize of the French Academy of Sciences. On the recommandation of Newton, he was elected professor of mathematics in the University of Edinburgh in 1725 and helped form the Royal Society of Edinburgh... The prefixed account of the life and writings of the author is still the chief authority on him. The four books of this work treat : Of the method of proceeding in natural philosophy ; and the various systems of philosophers ; Of the theory of motion, or rational mechanics ; Gravity demonstrated by analysis ; The effects of the general power of gravity deduced synthetically. The last chapter treats of the supreme author and governor of the universe, the True and living god and ends with an argument in favor of a future life, which was dictated by the author but a few hours before his death".

First printing of 5 importent papers containing substantial contributions to the development and understanding of the fission process in the crucial year 1939, the results leading to the creation the atomic bomb and nuclear energy production. Among the papers here are Francis Perrin's landmark paper: ""Calcul relatif aux conditions éventuelles de transmutation en chaine de l'uranium."" (in 2 parts).Nuclear fission of heavy elements was discovered on December 17, 1938 by Otto Hahn and his assistant Fritz Strassmann, and explained theoretically in January 1939 by Lise Meitner and her nephew Otto Robert Frisch. The Group at College de France, headed by Joliot and Perrin, worked in the month after January intensively with the uranium processes and succeeded in establishing the possibility of nuclear chain reactions and nuclear energy production.""The remaining piece of the fission/atomic bomb concept was provided in 1939 by Francis Perrin who introduced the concept of the critical mass of uranium required to produce a self-sustaining release of energy. His theories were extended by Rudolf Peierls at Birmingham University and the resulting calculations were of considerable importance in the development of the atomic bomb. Perrin's group in Paris continued their studies and demonstrated that a chain reaction could be sustained in a uranium-water mixture (the water being used to slow down the neutrons) provided external neutrons were injected into the system. They also demonstrated the idea of introducing neutron-absorbing material to limit the multiplication of neutrons and thus control the nuclear reaction (which is the basis for the operation of a nuclear power station).""
