Einstein originated the inquiries into the transfer of energy from one atom to another which have since been carried on by two Dan- ish physicists, Klein and Rosseland, a German, Franck, and a Johns Hopkins professor, R. W. Wood, and are now being studied by Professor Duff endack. The transfer of energy is of ir- calculable importance in the chem- ical application of physical princi- ples. The amount of energy differ- ence between one atom and anoth- er determines the speed of reaction of chemical compounds. The ex- periment also will enable chemists to determine in advance whether any reaction will take place be- tween two compounds. It will also be of great importance in the study of the ,production of light. The experiments concern in de- tail these questions. Can an atom in an excited or activated state that is, one on which work has been done, transfer some of its en- ergy to another atom in an unex- cited state when the two are brought into proximity? If such a transfer is po;ssible, under what circumstance is it most likely to take place? One of the properties of the atom is that it can only contain a few given amounts of energy, or as the physicist says, discrete amounts. It may be able to have 10 units of en- ergy and the next possible num- ber of units is 16. Dr. Duffendack wants to know whether an atom whose energy capacity is 10 in an activated state will transfer part of this energy more readily to one in an unexcited state whose capa- city is 9.9 for instance, or 8.
