Easton PA:, Eschenbach Printing,, 1925.. Paperback. Offered Is a Very Good+ Entire Issue of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences in Original Printed Wrappers with Mild Soil Covers, Foxing Edges, Cover Edge Wear. Sm. 4to. Very Good+, Compton and Doan made the first determination of X-ray wavelengths, using a ruled reflection grating. Compton discovered the "Compton Effect" and was Awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1927. "... notable work in the physics of X rays that Compton conducted in the early years at Chicago included the extension of his discovery made at Washington University, of the total reflection of Z rays from noncrystalline materials, such as glass and metals, and the first successful application of a ruled diffraction grating to the production of X-ray spectra. These first X-ray spectra were produced by Richard L. Doan, who carried out a suggestion of Compton's that such spectra might be obtained from a ruled grating that was ruled to his specification on Michelson's ruling engine, and with it he photographed the first X-ray grating spectra in 1925."
