✦ Synopsis

To make this evident, let us first employ a mechanical analog)-. In: the accompanying figure, let there be three parallel screens a, b, and c, the latter between the two former~ and all three perpendicular to the plane of the paper. Let them be pierced respectively by a series of equidistant apertures a 1 a 2 an, b 1 b 2 b., c I c.~ on, situated in the plane of the paper, and let these apertures be so placed that a~, bl, oi, are upon one straight line, not quite at right angles to the screens ; then are as, b~, 02, etc, and an, b., cn~ upon lines parallel to al~ bl~ c I. Now conceive the screens a, b, 0, to have a common uniform velocity, u, in the direction from c~ to Ca. Also, let a series of projectiles be discharged from any fixed position, A, at the left of the screen a, at such instants as to pass the first one through the aperture al, the second through as, etc.,.
