CURRENT ToPics. [J. F. I. by failing through some dozens of volts is of the same order as the lengths of x-rays. Hence it seemed worth while to test the correctness of the equivalence of electrons to waves by seeing whether crystals would diffract electrons. Davisson and Germer in New York were the

โฆ Synopsis
The results of experiments with paper, sailcloth, felt, fibre board, mahogany and brick work are given. In general the transmission ratio grows less as the frequency of the test sound rises from 300 to 16oo cycles per sec. Cartridge paper transmitted .5 of the incident energy while only a few millionths of the energy emerged from a brick wall built into the aperture or from fibre boards with a wide air space between them. " On the whole, the single-brick wall is superior to the other constructions tested."
Since apartment houses have become so common with their problems of sound insulation, investigations such as the above should prove of value for purposes of design.
