Extract

§ 1. The theory of group-velocity has been developed by Stokes, Osborne Reynolds, Lord Rayleigh, and later by Professor Lamb. The application of the theory to light-waves was made by Gouy and Lord Rayleigh, and its importance in this connection was emphasised by Professor Schuster in his paper “On Interference Phenomena,” Phil. Mag., vol. xxxvii., 1894.
