Abstract
ACCORDING to the quantum-dynamical treatment of Dirac and Gordon, the state of polarisation of light scattered by free electrons is the same as on the classical theory. This result seems to be in agreement with experiments of Kallmann and Mark (Zs. f. Phys., 36, p. 120; 1926) and of Lukirsky (NATURE, p. 275, Aug. 25, 1928).
