Of the Cambridge Mathematical Journal Although the principle of reversion applies to the theory of emissions, it does not lead, on that theory, to the law of intensity resulting from equations (1) and For the formation of these equations involves the additional principle of superposition, which on the theory of undulations is merely a general dynamical principle applied to the funda mental hypotheses, but which does not apply to the theory of emissions, or at best must be assumed, on that theory, as the expression of a property which we are compelled to attribute to light, although it appears inexplicable.
