ABSTRACT THE thermal agitation of the atoms in solids results, as was shown by Raman (NATURE, Jan. 12, 1922, and Jan. 6, 1923), in a noticeable blue opalescence in the interior of such transparent crystals as quartz or ice when they are traversed by a strong beam of sunlight. In his address on the discovery of a new type of secondary radiation (_Indian Journal of Physics_, Mar. 31, 1928) Raman described observations showing that monochromatic light scattered in this manner by crystals is accompanied by radiations of altered wave-length in the same way as in the case of gases and liquids. The difference between the incident and scattered frequencies corresponds, of course, to a characteristic infra-red frequency of the crystal.
