Abstract
FOUR of the six articles in this volume are concerned with the new quantum theory, L. de Broglie, M. Born and W. Heisenberg, E. Schrödinger, and N. Bohr contributing accounts of the special points of view with which they have become associated. The remaining papers are upon the intensity of reflection of X-rays (W. L. Bragg) and the discrepancies that exist between the electromagnetic theory of radiation and experiment (A. H. Compton). As in previous reports of the meetings of the Solvay Institute, each article is followed by an account of the ensuing discussion, the concluding one, on the general aspects of the new theories, being particularly interesting.
