About the author
Arthur L. Foley
4 booksArthur Lee Foley (1867–1945) was an American physicist, university professor, and architect.
Foley was interested throughout his career in radiation and wave phenomena of all sorts. He completed his doctorate just about a year before Marie Skłodowska-Curie, Pierre Curie, and Gustave Bémont announced (November 1898 in Paris) their discovery of radium. Seizing an opportunity to popularize a new scientific phenomenon, as early as 1904 Foley was giving spectacular public demonstrations of radiation from radium. He demonstrated some effects of the radiation by using the spinthariscope, invented by Sir William Crookes in 1903. Foley collaborated with IU Instructor Ryland Ratliff, investigating properties of “one-tenth of a gram of ‘Curie’ radium chloride.”
Foley also investigated radio waves and sound waves. In 1917, he became the first recipient of a professorship in the Luther Dana Waterman Institute for Research at Indiana University, where he studied acoustic phenomena. Foley worked on theories of sound amplification, leading to patents for the ideal shapes of horns for musical instruments, and for the optimum placement of locomotive whistles He photographed sound waves.
Foley worked on theories of sound amplification, leading to patents for the ideal shapes of horns for musical instruments. and for the optimum placement of locomotive whistles. He measured the speed of sound in open air and within musical instruments.
