Abstract

This thesis is submitted as a partial requirement for the degree of bachelor of science. The problem is one which dates back as far as the science which claims its authorship. It is a problem of which very little is known and one is justified in calling this old problem a youthful one, youthful, of course, in the sense that it is immature and as yet undeveloped. The problem by the very fact that it is in its infancy makes it one of Infinite length. It is a problem which has no greater practical application. Its ultimate value extends into all the important fields of physical science. Men have tried, men have succeeded, and men have failed in their attempt to study this peculiar phenomenon. The names of Maxwell, Bertholet, and Dalton head the list in this meek evolution. Their contributions are indeed great but their extended application is nil. Noteworthy scientists are working on this problem at the present time. Such men as Cox and Cooke head the list.
