Laser spectroscopy, at the moment, is the method par excellanoe to measure R. Measurement of the Rydberg constant R is a simple matter. One measures the wavelength or frequency (the velocity of light is defined to be 299 792 1)58 m/sec) in a system, such as hydrogen, where theoretical calculations are expected to be accurate to within the experimental error. One then compares this measurement (in Hz or cm-1) with the theoretical calculation (in atomic units), thereby finding the atomic unit in Hz or cm-1. Half of the atomic unit is the Rydberg...

In this chapter, we shall reassess some of the physical implications of the Dirac equation [5, 6], which were somehow overlooked in the sophisticated formal developments of quantum electrodynamics. We will conjecture that the internal structure of the electron should consist of a massless charge describing at light velocity an oscillatory motion (Zitterbewegung) in a small domain defined by the Compton wavelength, the observed spin momentum and rest mass being jointly generated by this very internal motion. 

From Eqs. (2.37) and (2.39), it is clear that the confinement of a charged entity oscillating at light velocity within a Compton radius defined by Eq. (2.34) cannot be related directly to the gravitational space-time curving. 

The essential idea in this chapter is that the rest mass of the electron stems from the rotational motion at light velocity, in a confined region defined by the Compton radius, of a massless charged entity. That a mass may stem from motion is nothing new since an inertial mass mo gains extra value with increasing speed v, according to... 

So far, we have considered neutral conditions in the surface layer. In cases with light to moderate wind speeds, the effects of surface heating and cooling also become rel-evant. Consequently, the virtual sensible heat flux w9m at the surface needs to be considered as an important variable as well [because it impacts on the buoyancy term in Eq. (3)]. The combination of surface heat flux with friction velocity defines a characteristic length scale L, given by... 

Defining the z-axis as the direction of propagation of the light s photons and carrying out the averaging of the Doppler factor over such a velocity distribution, one obtains ... 

If we increase the accuracy with which the position of the electron is determined by decreasing the wavelength of the light that is used to observe the electron, then the photon has a greater momentum, since p = hiA. The photon can then transfer a larger amount of momentum to the electron, and so the uncertainty in the momentum of the electron increases. Thus any reduction in the uncertainty in the position of the electron is accompanied by an increase in the uncertainty in the momentum of the electron, in accordance with the uncertainty principle relationship. We may summarize by saying that there is no way of accurately measuring simultaneously both the position and velocity of an electron the more closely we attempt to measure its position, the more we disturb its motion and the less accurately therefore we are able to define its velocity.

The velocity of electromagnetic waves through any material other than the vacuum is (e ) 2 = v and the ratio n = c/v is called the index of refraction of that material. It follows that n = y /x/eoMo and, since the ratio n/fio 1, except for ferromagnetic materials, the index of refraction is commonly defined as the square root of the dielectric constant, e/e0- Since the frequency of the field is not affected by the medium, refraction can be described equally well as a change of the wavelength of light passing between different transparent media. 

Refractive index is strictly defined as the ratio of the velocity at which light travels in a vacuum to that at which it travels through the medium. For present purposes, it is a sufficiently close approximation to use the velocity at which light travels in air, rather than in a vacuum. 

Catalytic evaluation of the different pillared clays was performed using a microactivity test (MAT) and conditions described in detail elsewhere (5). The weight hourly space velocity (WHSV) was 14-15 the reactor temperature was 510 C. A catalyst-to-oil ratio of 3.5-3.8 was used. The chargestock s slurry oil (S.O., b.p. >354 C), light cycle oil (LCGO, 232 C < b.p. <354 C) and gasoline content were 62.7 vol%, 33.1 vol% and 4.2 vol% respectively. Conversions were on a vol% fresh feed (FF) basis and were defined as [VfVp/V ] x 100, where is the volume of feed...
