But T= therefore X=V since V is a con- stant determined by experiment to be approximately ^.55^/^/^^cm, per second, or 186,365 miles per second; there are then onlytwo variables in the equation which gives their relation. lYithinthe range of variation of capacity, C, and inductance, L. manydifferent v;ave lengths may be obtained and most beautifullyshown. The accompanying photographs show the apparatus when notin operation and v;hen in operation. From these some idea can beobtained of what can be done with this apparatus. 26.
