✦ Synopsis

Present Status of the Problem.--The scattering of X-rays is one of the outstanding problems of electromagnetic radiation which has not been solved satisfactorily. All theories (based on classical electrodynamics) presented thus far do not explain either the diminution in the scattering coefficient, or the observed asymmetry in the scattering, or both. Among such theories we may mention :
