Abstract

THE undulatory mechanics makes it possible to give a quantum theory of aperiodic phenomena, and, in particular, to compute the intensity distribution for continuous spectra. The theory has recently been applied to the hyperbolic orbits of the hydrogen atom (Proc. Camb. Phil. Soc., Oct. 1926). The results are too complicated to be given here in detail; but they yield an estimate of the intensity distribution in the continuous X-ray absorption spectra. This is, I believe, the first experimental verification of this part of the theory.
