Assuming aquartz plate to have only plane wave motion, Vigoureux has investi-gated the motion in such a plate, and has shown that there will beresonances at odd harmonics of a particular frequency determined bythe length, and mechanical constants of the plate. In the neighbor-hood of the fundamental resonance of the crystal, with the electricalplates placed on the crystal surfaces, he finds the equivalent circuitshown by Fig. 2A, the elements of which in practical units have thefollowing values: Co = :;—;—.. ^ ^, . ^fi = capacitance m larads, Ci = Li = Airle X 9 X IQiiloLSEdn TvHe X 9 X 10 lelmP X 9 X 10 SloEHn Yl = capacitance in farads,inductance in henries, (1) where /o, Im, h are respectively the lengths of the optical
