| Title | Letter from Horace Lamb, to [Joseph] Larmor |
| Creator | Lamb; Sir Horace (1849-1934); British mathematician |
| Recipient | Larmor; Sir Joseph (1857-1942); Irish theoretical physicist |
| Date | 18 January 1910 |
| Description | He thinks he may have answered Larmor on the wrong point. On looking again at the theory of waves, and ship waves, Kelvin's assumed law of pressure from the Philosophical Magazine does not represent a mere local disturbance, and he gives the formula. Lamb thinks that this will not effect the appearance of the wave pattern, but rather the distribution of amplitude. He refers to the German edition of his last book, and to Havelock. |
