The change of energy of an atom of hydrogen when submitted to an electric field has been calculated by Epstein. If W denotes the total energy of an atom, then the change in energy Δ W, due to the field F, is given by ΔW = - 3 h 2 F/8 π 2 m E ( n 2 - n 1 ) ( n 1 + n 2 + n 3 ) + 17 e 2 F 2 /(16 π R H ) 2 m Z ( n 1 , n 2 , n 3 ), where R H is Rydberg's constant for hydrogen and Z ( n 1 , n 2 , n 3 ) = ( n 1 + n 2 + n 3 ) 6 {1 - 3/17 ( n 1 - n 2 /( n 1 + n 2 + n 3 ) 2 - 9/17 ( n 3 / n 1 + n 2 + n 3 ) 2 }, and n 1 and n 2 are parabolic quantum numbers and n 3 is the equatorial quantum number.

1. Formulation of the problem. - The propagation of electromagnetic waves in a homogeneous isotropic medium showing metallic conductivity has been treated phenomenologically on the basis of classical electrodynamics. If in Maxwell's equations for the electromagnetic field curl E = - 1/ c ∂B/∂ t , curl H = 1/ c (∂D/∂ t + 4πI), div D = 4πρ, div B = 0, we assume that D = εE, B = μH, I = σE, (1) where e is the dielectric constant, u the permeability and q the electrical conductivity, we get curl E = - μ/c ∂H/∂ t , curl H = 1/ c (ε ∂E/∂ t 4πσE), div E = 4πρ/ε. div H =0.
