Print on Demand. This book presents an in-depth study of the historical development and current state of knowledge regarding diffraction and secondary radiation, particularly as observed with electric waves of short wavelength. The author, an expert in the field, provides a comprehensive overview of the subject, tracing its evolution from early experiments to contemporary research. Delving into the theoretical and experimental aspects of diffraction and secondary radiation, the book thoroughly explores the underlying principles and phenomena, offering insights into the behavior of electromagnetic waves and their interactions with matter. The author's clear and engaging writing style makes this book accessible to both students and experienced researchers, serving as a valuable resource for understanding the intricacies of this fascinating and ever-evolving field. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.…

To explain such strong absorption effects Optical analogies fail us, and it seems reasonable to refer them to the effects of radiation coming from oscillations induced in the obstructing conductors differing in phase something like a half period from that of the direct radiation. This has been called by Righi secondary radiation.1 In the reference given he describes an experiment where another resonator similar in dimensions to the one used as receiver was placed at various distances to one side of the receiver and its influence upon the latter noted. This influence was found to vary with the distance, helping in some positions and opposing in others. At distance M2 a maximum was obtained. This was tested in our apparatus by using a vertical strip of sheet metal whose length and width were equal to the length and diameter of the receiver. When this was placed cm. M2) to one side of R on a line perpendicular to the axis, it was found to increase the energy received about 12 per cent. Trying non-resonant vertical conductors the long rod of 32 cm. Diameter had no measurable influence, but a flat strip cm. Wide (with its width parallel to the radiation axis) gave a well defined set of maxima and minima, but with distances between adjacent maxima and minima somewhat less than a half wave-length.
These later experiments and certain quantitative deviations of the diffraction phenomena from what is to be expected from optical analogy seem to find a possible explanation in the influence of secondary radi ation from conductors in the vicinity. This suggested a more thorough and systematic study of the influence of neighboring conductors, which has since been made. A description of these experiments, a preliminary account of which has been presented to the Physical Society, will be given in a later paper.

Other policies
Please note that we cannot accept cancellation requests once an order has been placed.
All Forgotten Books titles are printed on demand. The moment an order is submitted, it is automatically transmitted to our distributor and then forwarded to the printer, where it enters production. This process begins within minutes and is entirely automated.
A cancellation, however, is a manual, multi-step request that must pass through several systems. By the time such a request reaches the appropriate stage, the book has almost always been printed, packed, or already dispatched, which makes cancellation impossible.
For this reason, we kindly ask that you double-check the title, edition, and your shipping details before placing an order.
If you change your mind after ordering, you are welcome to return the book once it arrives, and a refund will be issued in accordance with AbeBooks’ return policy.
Please also make sure your address is correct before ordering as we will no be able to intervene and make changes before the book is shipped.
We can provide digital samples for all our print books ahead, so don't hesitate to reach out.
Returns
As a small publisher we do not have the facilities to resell returned books, so any returned book will be recycled. If the book is damaged or defective please continue with the return process, and thank you for letting us know so that we can improve our products. If you’re returning for another reason, however, please consider whether you could donate or gift the book instead so that it avoids the waste pile.
Thank you in advance!
