Abstract
THOSE to whom Prof. Righi's Italian edition of last year was not accessible, will welcome this German translation of his interesting book. The reproduction, by means of electro-magnetic waves, of some of the more complex optical phenomena, necessitates the use of an oscillator which gives out a series of waves that do not decrease too rapidly in intensity, and that are considerably shorter than those used by Hertz in his experiments.
Die Optik der elektrischen Schwingungen.
(Experimental Investigations on Electro-magnetic Analogies of the most important Optical Phenomena.) By Prof. A. Righi. Translated into German, with additions by the author, by B. Dessau. Pp. xi + 267; with 40 illustrations and figures. (Leipzig: O. R. Reisland, 1898.)
