Summary
In the eleventh volume of the Proceedings of the Royal Society, p. 193, is the abstract of a paper by Mr Balfbur Stewart, in which he deduces an expression for the internal radiation in any direction within a uniaxal crystal from an equation between the radiations incident upon and emerging from a unit of area of a plane surface, having an arbitrary direction, by which the crystal is supposed to be bounded. With reference to this determination he remarks (p. 196), “But the internal radiation, if the law of exchanges be true, is, clearly independent of the position of this surface, which is indeed merely employed as an expedient. This is equivalent to saying that the constants which define the position of the bounding surface must ultimately disappear from the expression for the internal radiation.” This anticipation he shows is verified in the case of the expression deduced, according to his principles, for the internal radiation within a uniaxal crystal, on the assumption that the wave-surface is the sphere and spheroid of Huygens.
In the case of an uncrystallized medium, the following is the equation obtained by Mr Stewart in the first instance.
Let R, R′ be the external and internal radiations in directions OP, OP′, which are connected as being those of an incident and refracted ray, the medium being supposed to be bounded by a plane surface passing through 0.
