The above attention shows that at the moment a few of the experi­ psychological proof on playstation in animals might be quantitatively defined in the limits of the "universal" photoreceptor membrane suggestion. after all, lifestyles of preferential orientation of the soaking up dipoles within the tubuli of the rhabdomeres cannot be completely rejected.

8). 5 that, in compliance with the energy law, for every case (19) r+ d=\, and also that r and d are the same for both transitions : rarer ^ denser medium. Our energy equation (19) is to be well distinguished from the amplitude equations (7 a) and (15) Rp + Dp = 1 and Rs + nDs= 1. 5. Total Reflection In principle our formulae of Sees. 3 and 4 remain unchanged if we transfer the incident wave into the denser medium and investigate its reflection into the same medium and its refraction in the rarer medium.

28 COLORS OF THIN MEMBRANES AND THICK PLATES 51 alternately the upper and lower surfaces under the desired angle; it emerges at a grazing angle. In this way the first reflection of the incident beam is suppressed as had indeed been assumed in eq. (23). The number p is not very large for the Lummer Plate because a perfectly homogeneous plane-parallel plate of thickness say 1 cm. cannot be made with a length much greater than 20 cm. Nevertheless we can without hesitation go to the limit p -+ oo and, hence, we can use eq.

The general formulae for the refracted wave in Sec. 3 give a field in the rarer medium not only for a < atoi but also for a > cntot. In the case of ^-polarization we start with eq. 1 a) by substituting ß=7Tj-±t sinβ = coshβ', β', cosβ = =F isinhβ' and obtain for k2 = k (vacuum) ■p D Jk(xcoshβ' ±iysinhβ') We see that only the lower sign in front of i is physically admissible (Ez must remain finite as y -► - oo) so that we must set E = B eky sinh ^ el k x cosh ^ /g\ This wave has an entirely different structure from that of the usual "homogeneous" plane wave.
