英语词汇“crookes's radiometer”的英英意思、用法、释义、翻译、读音、例句、短语、词组-英语词典

a. An instrument comprising four lightweight metal vanes, black on one side and white on the other, mounted on a spindle inside a partially evacuated glass bulb, so that the vanes rotate when illuminated with sunlight. Also Crookes radiometer, Crookes's radiometer.Invented by Sir William Crookes to illustrate the transformation of radiant energy into mechanical energy, but now chiefly used for amusement. It has also been used to measure the intensity of sound by means of its radiation pressure.
