What reading level is The Wonders of Radium Explained in a Popular Manner book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Their speed is enormously greater than that of the alpha rays. The beta rays travel at about IOC times the velocity of the alpha, and the gamma travel about 100 times faster than the beta. Lead is found to be the most opaque to all the rays. If a metal sheet aluminium or lead is usually employed is made beyond a certain thickness, the beta rays are cut off, and the gamma rays alone proceed through the metal. The gamma rays travel at practically the same speed as light, not less than 180, 000 mi...les per second, light travelling at 185, 000 miles per second. These gamma rays pass through lead even to the thickness of four inches, and apparently like light, are ether waves.
It is found that a large number of the phenomena which are produced by radium arise from the alpha rays, and as we have seen that it requires very little to stop the alpha rays, and very little more to stop the beta rays, it is therefore a comparatively simple matter to select either of these rays for medical treatment, but the gamma rays may be taken to be always present, and whether they have any considerable action compared with the others is not easy to say.
