What reading level is On the Physical Basis of Animal Phosphorescence book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
"When the wave-length is greater than 812 millionths of a millimeter no luniinous effect is produced on the eye, though the effect on the thermometer may be very great. When the wave-length is 650 millionths of a millimeter the ray is visible as a red light, and a considerable heating effect is observed.
But when the wave-length is 500 millionths of a millimeter, the ray, which is seen as a brilliant green, has much less heating effect than the dark or the red rays, and it is difficult to obtai...n strong thermal effects with rays of smaller wave-lengths, even when concentrated." ^ The light and heat are so very different to us because we perceive them with different organs of sense. The heat radia- tion, or the waves of ether which have most heating effect^ we perceive with the organ of temperature sense, while a similar radiation, with different wave-lengths, which have most lumi- notis effect^ we perceive with the organ of sight.
The difference between heat and light, therefore, " is purely subjective, depending on our organization and not on the nature of external objects." ^ There is an absolute continuity in the nature of external disturbances which create in us the sensa- tions of heat and of light, the difference between them being that of degree and not of kind.
