Abstract
The object of the following paper is to examine how far the hypothesis of a thin layer of transition between two transparent media will explain in detail the phenomena connected with the elliptic polarization produced by reflection at the boundary of two such media. This problem has been approached by the following writers :—L. Lorenz, ‘Poggendorff Annalen,’ 114, p. 460; Van Ryn Van Alkemaade, ‘Wiedemann Annalen,’ 20, p. 23; and P. Drude, 'Wiedemann Annalen, '34 and 36.
