MECHANISM OF ELEMENTARY PHOTOCHEMICAL PROCESSES
FOUNDATIONS AND CRITIQUE OF OSTWALD’S THEORY OF COLORS[^1]
In this article, drawing on the works of E. Schrödinger, Kohlrausch, and my own, I shall attempt to show in the most concise form that the so-called Ostwald theory of colors is incorrect in its very foundations and that its apparent simplicity is purchased at the cost of truth.
ELECTRICAL THEORY OF STRONG ELECTROLYTE SOLUTIONS[^1]
The present article aims to examine the principal aspects of the modern electrical theory of solutions. The necessity of the division adopted below into two chapters, of which the first considers thermodynamic phenomena and the second electrical conductivity, is dictated by the consideration that th…
The modern development of technology and applied physics requires an ever greater application of mathematics for the conscious solution of problems put forward by practice. Althoug

QUANTUM THEORY AND PHOTOGRAPHY¹
A special branch of photochemistry, of great technical and scientific interest, is photography. Interpretation on the basis of quantum theory is still at an early stage here. However, the results obtained, set out below, give hope for further progress. In any case, the possibility has arisen of a sc…
