Moreover, should the radius of the sphere of sensible action of the molecular forces bear any finite ratio to X, the length of a wave of light, as some philosophers have supposed, in order to explain the phenomena of dispersion, instead of an abrupt termination...

...terminate abruptly at their surface of junction, which would not be true of the luminiferous ether, unless the radius of the sphere of sensible action of the molecular forces was exceedingly small compared with X, the length of a wave of light. In order, therefore, to form... | |

...force may be given. In a supplement to his memoir "On the Reflection of Light"*, Green says : — " Should the radius of the sphere of sensible action...have a continuous though rapid change of state of the setherial medium in the immediate vicinity of their surface of separation. And I have here endeavoured... | |

...thickness, from which onwards the edge-angle acquires the constant magnitude 03, must in general depend upon the radius of the sphere of sensible action of the molecular forces. If no change of density occur in the interior of the substance 2 (as was amply set forth above in §... | |
