Abstract
EXPERIMENTS have been made by Herr Glan (Wied. Ann. No. 11) as to the action of gases and vapours on the optical properties of reflecting surfaces. No such influence (expressed in alteration of phases in reflection) is found to exist if the gases and vapours do not act chemically on the surfaces, or are not precipitated in visible quantity (as when the temperature is below the dew point).
