Abstract
The heterodyne beat method has been used to measure at room temperatures the dielectric constants of argon and neon relative to air. The value for air is assumed to be 1.000589 and the values found for argon and neon are 1.000574 and 1.000148 respectively, for normal temperature and pressure. Simultaneous refractive index measurements agree with previous determinations and indicate that the gases contain no appreciable impurities. An oscillator employing a shield grid tube is described for which the frequency is very little affected by changes in the various battery voltages.Keywords
