Beschreibung
RUBINOWICZ WOJCIECH: (1889-1974) Polish theoretical physicist who made contributions in quantum mechanics, mathematical physics and the theory of radiation. Autograph Manuscript, unsigned, two pages (separate leaves), 4to, Warsaw, 6th July 1970, in French. Rubinowicz responds to the questions posed to him by the researcher [Henri] Corbiere in their letter of the 29th May and explains that he was fortunate that his first two published works contained results that count amongst his best scientific productions, 'Dans l'un de ces travaux - 1917 - j'ai demontre que la theorie de la diffraction de Kirchhoff peut etre mise de maniere vigoureuse sans une forme qui correspond aux idees de Young sur l'origine de ces phenomenes. Dans le 2e travail - 1918 - j'ai fait connaitre-tout a fait independamment de Niels Bohr. La decouverte des regles de selection et de polarisation pour le rayonnement dipolaire electrique' (Translation: 'In one of these works - 1917 - I demonstrated that Kirchhoff's theory of diffraction can be put vigorously without a form which corresponds to Young's ideas about the origin of these phenomena. In the 2nd work - 1918 - I made known - quite independently of Niels Bohr - the discovery of selection and polarisation rules for electric dipole radiation'), further providing details of his early career following his university studies, 'J'ai obtenu tout d'abord un poste d'assistant a l'institut de physique de l'universite de Czernowitz (Austriche). Dans la suite j'ai ete l'assistant du Professeur Arnold Sommerfeld a l'universite de Munich. Apres le fin de la premiere guerre mondiale j'obtins, grace a l'appui du Professeur Niels Bohr une subvention qui me permit de faire un sejour d'etudes dans son institut de Copenhague. A l'age de 31 ans je fus nomme professeur ordinaire de physique theorique a l'Universite de Ljubljana en Yugoslavie' (Translation: 'I first obtained a position as an assistant at the physics institute of the University of Czernowitz (Austria). Subsequently I was assistant to Professor Arnold Sommerfeld at the University of Munich. After the end of the First World War I obtained, thanks to the support of Professor Niels Bohr, a grant which enabled me to study at his institute in Copenhagen. At the age of 31 I was appointed ordinary professor of theoretical physics at the University of Ljubljana in Yugoslavia') and also discussing his most important scientific achievements, other than those referred to previously, 'Je dois compter parmi mes meilleures productions scientifiques mes recherches sur le rayonnement quadrupolaire electrique (1930). Grace a la theorie de l'effet Zeeman de ce rayonnement developpe par moi ce type de rayonnement a ete caracterise experimentalement dans la raie verte de l'aurore boreale, raie sur laquelle j'avais d'ailleurs attire l'attention. Ces trois travaux sont parmi mes meilleurs. Mais je crois que les plus importants d'entre eux sont ceux sur les regles de selection et de polarisation du rayonnement dipolaire electrique et ceux sur le rayonnement quadrupolaire electrique. Car ces travaux contiennent la decouverte de nouvelles lois physiques. Cependant mes travaux les plus connus sont ceux sur la theorie de la diffraction car c'est sur ce sujet qui j'ai fait la plupart de mes publications - en particulier une monographie qui a connu deux editions succesives - et ce sont ces travaux qui ont ete cite souvent dans la litterature scientifique' (Translation: 'I must count among my best scientific productions my research on electric quadrupole radiation (1930). Thanks to the theory of the Zeeman effect of this radiation developed by me, this type of radiation has been experimentally characterised in the green line of the aurora borealis, a line to which I had moreover drawn attention. These three works are among my best. But I believe that the most important of them are those on the rules of selection and polarisation of electric dipole radiation and those on electric quadrupole radiation. For these works contain the discovery of new physical laws. However, my best-known works are those on the theory of diffraction because it is on this subject that I have done most of my publications - in particular a monograph which has known two successive editions - and it is these works which have often been cited in scientific literature'). A manuscript of excellent scientific content. One very small, minor stain to the lower edge of the second page, VG
