Abstract
THIS booklet is a translation of one of the admirable articles contributed to the Bell System Technical Journal by Karl K. Darrow. The fact that foreign publishers consider these articles sufficiently important to warrant translation, indicates that English readers would do well to consult them. The article before us is an extremely instructive explanation of certain simple optical and electron phenomena, such as diffraction by a grating, on the basis of the corpuscular and undulatory theories. In it, the author shows how recent work has so modified our conceptions that we now look upon corpuscles and waves, not as two alternatives between which we must choose, but as complementary aspects of the truth.
