A STUDY OF A SCINTILLATION MECHANISM.

Abstract

Scintillation was observed during an experiment with an Hg 198 light, a rotating mirror, and a Fabry-Perot interferometer. The mechanism postulated for the phenomenon is an acceleration component in the ray path, caused by curvatures within the mirror surfaces. (Author)
