Suppose an equal number of waves of water to move upon the surface of a stagnant lake, with a certain constant velocity, and to enter a narrow channel leading out of the lake. Suppose then another similar cause to have excited another equal series of... The Asclepiad. v. 11, 1894-1895 - Page 4071895Full view - About this book
