Reports on Progress in Physics

Abstract

THE second volume of the Progress Reports issued by the Physical Society does not belie the promise of the first. It continues the method, initiated in the earlier volume, of a series of reports dealing with the main content of physics issued under the same heads as appear in the first volume. It is to be presumed that these heads?general physics, the quantum theory, atomic physics, sound, heat, optics, spectroscopy, X-rays, and electrical and magnetic measurements, will appear regularly in the succeeding volumes. Over and above these come the titles of special reports which will vary from year to year?reports concerned with topics which are, it may be, of specialised interest, or which chronicle some of those rapid and spectacular advances of which almost every year has its share. The special reports which appear in the present volume are of remarkable and varied interest.
