Abstract
IT is well known that the conventional quantum theory must be modified in accordance with the matrix dynamics developed by Born, Heisenberg, and Jordan, and by Dirac. The purpose of the present note is twofold, namely: (1) to show that in the new theory the spacial quantisation relative to the applied field has no direct effect on the magnetic susceptibility (or the dielectric constant), and (2) to give the results of the calculation of the dielectric constant of a diatomic gas by means of the new mechanics.
