Using the heterodyne-beat method, Bryan found the value of the dielectric constant for
neon at one atmosphere and OC to be 1.000148 after calibrating his instrument with air
assMling its dielectric constant to be l.000589. Using the same general method, Watson
et al. reported values of 1.000134 and 1.0001346 for OC and 1 atmosphere, determined
from measurements at 25 and -191C respectively. They also report values for 25"C of
1.0001229 determined from measurements at 25OC and 1.0001233 determi,ned from measurement8
at -191C.

Cuthbertson and Cuthbertson report an index of refraction which through the Cauchy
relation is equivalent to a dielectric constant of 1.000133 at OC and 1 atmosphere.
Hector and WoerriLey made a study of dielectric constants primarily to determine whether
there was a marked difference between values obtained by static techniques and by high
frequency techniques. They observed no such difference. Measurements of the dielectric
constant of neon yielded the value of 1.0001274 0.000005 at 0C and 1 atmosphere.
Jeletis concludedthat the wide discrepancies in the data of previous observers are due
i n part, at least, to the neglect of certain stray components in the circuits involved.
He gives values of 1.0001337 and 1.0001341 resulting f r m s i x and five determinations
respectively at S I T (Probably 0 OC and 1 atmosphere).

Comments:
The values of the velocity of sound in gaseous neon are given here as
functions of pressure and temperature for temperatures from 26.25OK
to 273.1K at various pressures between 0 and 0.9825 atmospheres. The
26.25'~isotherm on the plot of the velocity of sound versus pressure
has been terminated at the point of saturation. All the data tabulated
below are from Keesom and Van Lameren listed above under "Sources of
Data".
!he values of velocity of sound by Keesom and Van Lammeren are th.e
average values from measurements at several frequencies in the audible
sound range. The error caused by the resonator (heat conduction and
viscosity) in the experimental apparatus was corrected by means of the
Kircbhoff-Helmholtz formula as reported by Keesom and Van Itterbeek.
No estimate is made of the accuracy of the measurements or the purity
of the neon gas used.
The values of the velocity of sound at 0 pressure were calculated for
the ideal gas , i.e., c = where c is the velocity of sound, R is
the gas constant, T is the temperature and y is the specific heat ratio.
The 26.25'~ isotherm has been terminated at the saturated vapor pressure.
The units of the velocity of sound in neon gas used in the tabulations
below and on the graphs are: temperature in degrees Kelvin (0C =
273.16"~),pressure in atmospheres (g = 8% .665) and the velocity of
sound in meters per second.

Van Itterbeek and Thys made measurements of the velocity of sound in
neon gas using a sound wave with a frequency of 304.4 kilocycles per
second; whereas Keesom and Van Lammeren had used audible sound. From
these measurements they calculated the value of the velocity of sound
at 0C and l atmosphere pressure in neon gas as 434.9 m/sec, differing
slightly from the value of 4.33.4.
m/sec reported by Keesom and Van
Lammeren. Van Itterbeek and Thys conclude that their own neon contained
a small amount of hydrogen.
Van Itterbeek and Mariens made measurements on carbon dioxide to which
small amounts (0.2%) of neon had been added to study the effect of
this impurity.
Skudrzyk derived relations of absomtion and velocity of sound and com-
pared them with the classical hypothesis of Stokes. The specific be-
havior of helium and neon was also explained.
Greenspan measured the speed and attenuation of sound at 11 megacycles
in helium, neon, argon, krypton, and xenon at various pressures between
atmospheric and a few mm Hg, and compared the results with existing
theories.
