Abstract
A heterodyne beat apparatus for the determination of the dielectric constant of water vapor at 42 megacycles was constructed. With it the Clausius-Mosotti equation was proved to be valid for water vapor at constant temperature at this frequency, and the value of the dielectric constant of water vapor at 100 degrees centigrade and 760 mm of mercury was determined. The value obtained was 1.0052.
