The Absorption of Radiation by Multiply Periodic Orbits, and its Relation to the Correspondence Principle and the Rayleigh-Jeans Law. Part II. Calculation of Absorption by Multiply Periodic Orbits

Abstract

This part is largely dynamical and presents the mathematical analysis on which part I is largely based. It gives the calculation of the absorption by a multiply periodic orbit in a field of radiation and the corresponding perturbations in the orbits, also of the polarization produced by incident waves, causing dispersion, and the distortion of the orbit by its own radiation. Most of these calculations have previously been given only for special cases.
