Abstract
Wiedemann's Annalen der Physik und Chemie, No. 2.—Propagation of electrodynamic waves along a wire, by A. Sommerfeld. To approximate to practical conditions, the author admits a finite thickness for the wire, and supposes it to be single, straight, and infinite. He shows that when the frequency is high and the wire thick, propagation takes place with nearly the velocity of light; but when that is not the case, the rate may be only three-quarters of that. All the occurrences are confined to a surface layer of the wire not more than O˙I mm. thick.—Polarisation and hysteresis in dielectric media, by W. Schaufelberger.
