Text 2 b. The Law of Energy Conservation
Heat, this most active, powerful and mysterious phenomenon of Nature, was once a really challenging problem to physicists – professionals as well as non – professionals. Among the first investigators of the problem were people of all works of life: a peer France Laplace and an English, manufacturer of beer Joule, the French philosopher and writer Voltair and an English acrobat, a musician and physicist Young, the War Minister Rumford and a French doctor Pall Marat; the leader of the French Revolution.
The first to estimate the mechanical equivalent of heat was Robert Mayer (1842). Soon, afterwards, it was also proposed by Joule and later by von Helmholtz, a physiologist and a physicist. The same idea, though not so clearly expressed, seems to have occurred to at least live other physicists or engineers. The approaches of the three principal discoveries were different Mayer was led to the conception by general philosophical considerations of a cosmical kind. He was struck by the analogy between the energy gained by bodies falling under gravity and the heat given off by compressed gases. Joule was led to the idea first by experiments aimed at finding out how far the new electric motor could become a practical source of power. Helmholtz in 1847, by an attempt to generalize the Newtonian conception, of motion to that of a large number of bodies acting under mutual attraction, showed that the sun of force and tension, what we now call kinetic and potential energy, remained the same. This is the principle of the Conservation of Energy in its most formal sense, but it was important in that it reconciled the new doctrines of heat with older ones of mechanics, a process that was to be largely completed by William Thompson (later Lord Kelvin), a friend of both Joule and Helmholts, in his paper The Dynamical Equivalents of Heat (1851).
XVI. Read text 2 b using some more information about well known more physicists mentioned in the text.
XVII. Read TEXT 2 C. Then, look at the dates and divide them into two columns, depending on what text they refer to. (They should represent stages in the history of each source of radiation). Then, say what happened at these periods.
1895 World War II 1913 1896 1931 1896-1912 1898 1946 1922 text 2 c. History of Radiography: X-rays, Gamma Rays
X-RAYS were discovered in 1895 by Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen (1845-1923) who was a Professor at Wurzburg University in Germany. Working with a cathode-ray tube in his laboratory, Röntgen observed a fluorescent glow of crystals on a table near his tube. The tube that Röntgen was working with consisted of a glass envelope (bulb) with positive and negative electrodes encapsulated in it. The air in the tube was evacuated, and when a high voltage was applied, the tube produced a fluorescent glow. Röntgen shielded the tube with heavy black paper, and discovered a green colored fluorescent light generated by a material located a few feet away from the tube.
He concluded that a new type of ray was being emitted from the tube. This ray was capable of passing through the heavy paper covering and exciting the phosphorescent materials in the room. He found the new ray could pass through most substances casting shadows of solid objects. Röntgen also discovered that the ray could pass through the tissue of humans, but not bones and metal objects. One of Röntgen’s first experiments in 1895 was a film of the hand of his wife, Bertha. It is interesting that the first use of X-rays were for an industrial (not medical) application as Röntgen produced a radiograph of a set of weights in a box to show his colleagues.
Röntgen’s discovery was a scientific bombshell, and was received with extraordinary interest by both scientist and laymen. Scientists everywhere could duplicate his experiment because the cathode tube was very well known during this period. Many scientists dropped other lines of research to pursue the mysterious rays. Newspapers and magazines of the day provided the public with numerous stories, some true, others fanciful, about the properties of the newly discovered rays.
Public fancy was caught by this invisible ray with the ability to pass through solid matter, and, in conjunction with a photographic plate, provide a picture of bones and interior body parts. Scientific fancy was captured by demonstration of a wavelength shorter than light. This generated new possibilities in physics, and for investigating the structure of matter. Much enthusiasm was generated about potential applications of rays as an aid in medicine and surgery. Within a month after the announcement of the discovery, several medical radiographs had been made in Europe and the United States which were used by surgeons to guide them in their work. In June 1896, only 6 months after Röntgen announced his discovery, X-rays were being used by battlefield physicians to locate bullets in wounded soldiers.
Prior to 1912, X-rays were used little outside the realms of medicine, and dentistry, though some X-ray pictures of metals were produced. The reason that X-rays were not used in industrial application before this date was because the X-ray tubes (the source of the X-rays) broke down under the voltages required to produce rays of satisfactory penetrating power for industrial purpose. However, that changed in 1913 when the high vacuum X-ray tubes designed by Coolidge became available. The high vacuum tubes were intense and reliable X-ray sources, operating at energies up to 100,000 volts.
In 1922, industrial radiography took another step forward with the advent of the 2oo,ooo-volt X-ray tube that allowed radiographs of thick steel parts to be produced in a reasonable amount of time. In 1931, General Electric Company developed 1,000,000 volt X-ray generators, providing an effective tool for industrial radiography. That same year, the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) permitted X-ray approval of fusion welded pressure vessels that further opened the door to industrial acceptance and use.
