Extra Energy. Radar waves are electromagnetic waves like light and X rays; but since their frequency is enormously smaller, they carry much less energy per "photon."* They therefore provide what scientists call an "elegant" method of dealing out very small quantities of energy. Using a formidable-looking gadget, Lamb & Retherford shot radar waves of the proper frequency through hydrogen atoms in one of Dirac's predicted states. As soon as the energy was added, the atoms turned into the other state. Since energy was required to make the change, the experiment showed that the two states did not have...
...photon (smallest unit of radiant energy) is equal to the frequency of the wave multiplied by Planck's constant h (6.55 X 10(-27)erg-seconds...
...time peak, but is still pretty small. But among the 20,000 people who pay a stiff $1.25 a copy are many key legislators, editors, and Government officials. Pundit Walter Lippmann is devoting 14 columns to a rebuttal of an article in Foreign Affairs signed by "X," who is actually the State Department's Chief Policy Planner George F. Kennan (TIME, Sept...
...sprained shoulders are the most common injuries, at least from Cox's experience. To care for these and other injuries, Jimmy and his assistants, whom he swears by, have a plethora of machines and devices to work with. Assistant trainer Eddie Noonan, Hal Knowlton, Ed Anderson, Joe Murphy (the x-ray man), and Al Palladino are the associates, and combined with the ample equipment, they make the Dillon Medical plant one of the finest among college field houses...
Here's some of the equipment that fills the Medical Room: there whirlpool baths, two needle baths, one sitz bath, ten radiant heat lamps of various wattage, three infra-red lamps, one ultraviolet lamp, one microtherm, two shortwave diathermes, two long-wave diathermes, and an x-ray machine capable of producing a finished film in something like three minutes. This machine, one of the few college field house x-ray units in captivity, stands loaded during all games to determine fractures...
