Unpublished paper, 'On the theory of refraction in gases' by George W [Walker] Walker
Reference number: AP/75/12
Date: 1903
Description
Walker writes that the present theories of refraction in gases lead to expressions for the refractive index, of which the formula μ2 - 1 = Nƒ(p) may be taken as typical.
Subject: Chemistry / Physics
Received 2 May 1903. Read 28 May 1903. Communicated by J J [Joseph John] Thomson.
Whilst the Royal Society declined to publish this paper in full, an abstract of the paper was published in volume 72 of the Proceedings of the Royal Society as 'On the theory of refraction in gases'.
