Extract

According to the Frenkel theory of adsorption, the first molecules striking a surface move about on it like a two-dimensional gas before finally being adsorbed. This surface motion has been demonstrated by Estermann and by Cockcroft in the case of vaporised cadmium.

There would, of course, be a reduction in intensity at distances 5 × 10−3 mm. from the edge all along the slit.
