Published in "Physical Review", Volume 24 number 6, December 1924, pp 591-597 in the monthly issue.Original wrappers.Good, solid copy, with an old library rubber stamp on the toe of the front cover. __+__ABSTRACT (via American Physical Society): "ABSTRACT Change of frequency of a monochromatic light-wave in the neighborhood of moving gravitating matter. The equation of a light wave in curved four-space is deduced from considerations not directly involving the electromagnetic nature of light. A wave theory of the Compton effect. It is shown that whenever a light wave passes through a non-static gravitational field, its frequency must suffer a change. The equations governing this change are formally very similar to Compton's. It is suggested that the peculiarities observed in the interaction of radiation and matter may be due to the existence of non-static gravitational fields in the atom. These results indicate that the possibilities of the wave hypothesis are not yet exhausted.".
