The recent spectral measurements made by O. Lummer and E. Pringsheim1 , and even more notable those by H. Rubens and F. Kurlbaum2 , which together confirmed an earlier result obtained by H. Beckmann3 , show that the law of energy distribution in the normal spectrum, first derived by W. Wien from molecular-kinetic considerations and later by me from the theory of electromagnetic radiation, is not valid generally.
In any case the theory requires a correction, and I shall attempt in the following to accomplish this on the basis of the theory of electromagnetic radiation which I developed. For this purpose it will be necessary first to find in the set of conditions leading to Wien’s energy distribution law that term which can be changed; thereafter it will be a matter of removing this term from the set and making an appropriate substitution for it.
