Abstract
1. During 1933 two papers with the above title, the one by Schott and the other by Fock, were published. Schott in his paper criticizes the usual procedure adopted in the Quantum Theory for the estimation of the intensities of a spectrum line according to the classical formula of Hertz, viz.., 2 p ..2 /3 c 3 , where p is the electric moment of the distribution producing the spectrum line, which necessarily assumes that the distribution can be concentrated in a dipole of the same moment p. In view of this criticism he develops a more rigorous method for calculating the electromagnetic fields due to variable electric charges. His method is based upon Maxwell's theory, as represented by his elctromagnetic equations and their solutions in terms of the classical retarded potential integrals and no initial assumptions are made respecting the spatial extent or the rate of variation of the electric distributions considered.
