Abstracts
The results of a previous paper (see preceding abstract) are first quoted for the case of a particle moving with velocity β c (β < 1), where c is the velocity of light, which should be regarded as a wave propagated in the same direction with a speed c/β = c²/ν, the frequency of this wave being equal to the total energy of the particle divided by Planck's constant h. The speed β c can then be considered as that of a group of waves of speeds c/β and frequencies m₀c²/h sqrt(1 - β²) . This result is then applied in a discussion of interference fringes and diffraction. (Science Abstracts, 1924, 257. H. H. Ho.).
