Extract

The effect of a monomolecular film on the reflexion of light from a plane surface is considered. The film is treated as a two-dimensional assembly of scattering centres, and the possibility of molecular orientation is allowed for. Experimental results, when available, should indicate whether the scattering properties of groups of molecules in the “two-dimensional” state differ from those of molecules in bulk.
