(By Cable, through Science Service, Washington, D.C.) PROF. RAMAN'S brilliant and surprising discovery that transparent substances illuminated by very intense monochromatic light scatter radiations of modified wave-length, and that frequency difference between emitted radiation and one exciting medium is identical with frequency of infra-red absorption bands, opens up wholly new field in study of molecular structure. I have verified his discovery in every particular, using improved apparatus which makes it possible to photograph strongest lines in few minutes. Anti-Stokes' terms of intensity nearly equal that of lines of wave-length greater than exciting line obtained chloroform, carbon tetrachloride, latter giving triplet each side 4046, 4358, 5461 lines mercury arc. Raman reported no trace modified lines excited latter line, but are strong with carbon tetrachloride. Triplets short wave-length sides exciting lines appear mirror images those long wave-length side, considering exciting line mirror. Crystalline quartz gives strong line identified as 20µ absorption band, and fainter line very close exciting line corresponds infra-red absorption about 75µ. Raman's discovery thus makes possible investigation remote infra-red regions hitherto little explored owing experimental difficulties. As yet I have found no line corresponding more generally known band quartz (eight and half µ). This expected as small energy exchanges between impinging light quanta and molecules more probable than large; these correspond absorption bands very long wave-length.
