Abstract
SEVERAL investigators have recently stated that in many cases Raman lines are found which do not correspond with infra-red absorption frequencies (Carelli, Pringsheim, and Rosen, Zs. f. Phys., 51, p. 511; 1928: Czerny, ibid., 53, p. 317; 1929: McLennan and McLeod, NATURE, 123, p. 160; 1929: Ellis, ibid., p. 205: Rasetti, ibid., 205: R. W. Wood, ibid., p. 279, and others). Several authors state this as contrary to the theoretical expectations. The purpose of this note is to direct attention to the fact that the abovementioned phenomena, far from being a contradiction to the theory, really furnish a very good proof for the validity of the Kramers' theory of dispersion, which includes the theory of the Raman effect.
