Revision of the NBS Tables of Spectral-Line Intensities Below 2450 Å

From Abstract: "A calibration is applied to the intensity measurements of the 1400 lines below 2450 A in the NBS Tables of Spectral-Line Intensities. Tables of the new values are presented with the lines arranged by elements and by wavelengths."

On the Statistical Theory of Electromagnetic Waves in a Fluctuating Medium (II): Mathematical Basis of the Analogies to Quantum Field Theory

Report discussing the relationship between quantum field theory and the the statistical theory of waves. Basic equations exist in the latter theory which correspond closely to the fundamental equations of the former theory; i.e., to the commutation relations and the Heisenberg equation of motion. A probability density function of waves is introduced here which corresponds to the probability amplitude function in quantum mechanics. The theory of the statistical Green's functions and their relationships to the expectation values of the physical variables is also extensively developed. It is found that there exists a one-to-one correspondence between the formalism of Green's functions presented here and that used in field theory.

Refractive Indices and Densities of Aqueous Solutions of Invert Sugar (open access)

Refractive Indices and Densities of Aqueous Solutions of Invert Sugar

Report of the refractive indices and densities of aqueous solutions of invert sugar at temperatures of 15, 20, 25, and 30º C, for concentrations up to about 82 percent of invert sugar (by weight). From the results, equations have been derived which relate the refractive index and percent of invert sugar (weight in air) at each temperature. Other equations relate the absolute density and percent of invert sugar (weight in vacuum) at each temperature. Five-decimal tables giving the refractive indices and densities of invert sugar solutions containing 1 to 85 percent of sugar are given for each percentage of invert sugar at the four temperatures.

Spot Diagrams for the Prediction of Lens Performance From Design Data (open access)

Spot Diagrams for the Prediction of Lens Performance From Design Data

From Abstract: "This Monograph presents an outline of the methods used at the National Bureau of Standards to predict the performance of lenses from an analysis of their designs. The technique is based on the use of spot diagrams, which are analogs of star image tests, and makes extensive use of high-speed digital computers."
