Investigation of Wave Processes by the Model Method Using Ultrasonic Waves

There are a number of ways to study wave processes using models. The simplest method consists in observing the propagation of waves on the surface of a liquid. This method clearly illustrates refraction, diffraction, and other wave phenomena and is widely used for demonstration purposes. For studyin…

ABSORPTION AND SCATTERING OF $\gamma$-RAYS. II

In the first part of our article, we analyzed the question of the attenuation of a beam of gamma rays as it passes through matter. Here we shall consider the question of the composition of the scattered radiation arising in matter as gamma rays pass through it; by scattered radiation we shall mean n…

ELECTRON-OPTICAL STUDIES OF CATHODES

The development of electron optics and the electron microscope based on it, which began so fruitfully around 1932, led to the acquisition of a whole series of new, highly interesting data in the physics of processes occurring during the operation of cathodes, primarily thermionic cathodes of various…

THE STRUCTURE OF THE UNIVERSE\*

The advances achieved by astronomers in studies of the structure of the Universe over the past 20 years have aroused less interest among non-specialists than the powerful development of physics that took place over the same period, which overturned our previous notions. The reason for this apparentl…

On the Absorption and Diffusion of Slow Neutrons\*

The study of slow-neutron absorption has made it possible to establish the existence of absorption bands corresponding to rather narrow energy intervals, which makes it possible to isolate relatively homogeneous groups of neutrons. This work will describe experiments and present some considerations …
