Abstract
This excellent summary begins with a general account of the Raman effect, in which its relationship to other similar effects is carefully considered. The theory is treated first classically, when it is shown that, in addition to the Tyndall and Raman effects, scatterings of higher order are to be expected, and the point is stressed that asymmetrical forces are required for the Raman effect to appear. The theory is then given in terms of wave mechanics, and correspondences between the two methods of treatment are pointed out. The experimental technique, the polarisation of the lines, their intensities, and the effect of temperature variation on them, are only briefly described.
