A Short Course of Experiments in Physical Measurement, Part 1: Density, Heat, Light, and Sound (1890)

""A Short Course of Experiments in Physical Measurement, Part 1: Density, Heat, Light, and Sound"" is a book written by Harold Whiting in 1890. The book is a guide to conducting experiments in physical measurement, with a focus on four key areas: density, heat, light, and sound. The book is intended for use by students and teachers of physics, as well as anyone interested in conducting experiments in these areas. It includes detailed instructions for conducting each experiment, as well as explanations of the underlying principles and theories. The book is organized into chapters, each of which focuses on a specific type of experiment. The first chapter covers experiments related to density, including measuring the density of liquids and solids. The second chapter covers experiments related to heat, including measuring the specific heat of different substances. The third chapter covers experiments related to light, including measuring the index of refraction of different materials. The fourth chapter covers experiments related to sound, including measuring the speed of sound in different mediums. Overall, ""A Short Course of Experiments in Physical Measurement, Part 1: Density, Heat, Light, and Sound"" is a comprehensive guide to conducting experiments in physics, and is an essential resource for anyone interested in the subject.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
