The equivalent can however be determined very accurately, and we have seen that it is some multiple or submultiple of the true atomic weight.
Hence half the wave length must be an odd submultiple of the length of the circuit HLMJ.
If H and J are connected together the wave length must be a submultiple of the length of this circuit.
These will not overlap and will just fill in the space round B if the angle ABC is a submultiple of two right angles.
Defn: Of or pertaining to a submultiple; being a submultiple; as, a submultiple number; submultiple ratio.
Defn: A number or quality which is contained in another an exact number of times, or is an aliquot part of it; thus, 7 is the submultiple of 56, being contained in it eight times.
The amplitude of the curve of sines is a simple harmonic function of the time, the period being either the fundamental period or somesubmultiple of the fundamental period.
The determination of a submultipleis therefore equivalent to completion of the diagram E or E' of S 35 by entry of the unit, when the number of times it is taken, and the product, are given.
The relation of submultiple is the converse of that of multiple; thus if a is 1/5 of b, then b is 5 times a.
