Experimental proof of ‘negative dispersion. ’

ABSTRACT THE intimate connexion between absorption and selective dispersion suggests that the process of ‘negative absorption’ implied by the Planck-Einstein theory of temperature radiation

should be accompanied by a corresponding negative selective dispersion. The idea of ‘negative dispersion’ was first introduced by H. A. Kramers in his correspondence theory of the scattering

and dispersion of light (see NATURE, 113, p. 673; 1924). It now appears also in the quantum mechanics of these phenomena. Access through your institution Buy or subscribe This is a preview
