Abstract
IN continuation of some experiments which were described in NATURE, vol. xxxix. p. 391 (“Repetition of Hertz's Experiments and Determination of the Direction of the Vibration of Light”) attempts were made to obtain periodic reflection of electric radiation from plates of different thicknesses, analogous to Newton's rings, with the view of further identifying these radiations with “light.”
