Absorption of 12·5-mm. Wave-length Electromagnetic Radiation in Supercooled Water

Abstract

WE have recently succeeded in measuring the absorption of radio waves of wave-length 12·5 mm. in transmission through water in the supercooled state in layers of varying thickness up to several millimetres : the lowest water temperature so far reached in this work is — 7° C.
