Русский: Иллюстрация к статье Электрические колебания из энциклопедии Брокгауза и Ефрона
English: Illustration of a Lecher line, an experimental method of measuring the wavelength of radio waves developed by Ernst Lecher in 1888. The spark-gap transmitter (right), a primitive radio transmitter consisting of a half-wave dipole antenna| (A1, A2) with a spark gap between the elements excited by an induction coil, produced radio waves which were coupled into the parallel-wire transmission line (D1, D2) through the capacitors (A1, B1) and (A2, B2). They travelled down the line and were reflected back by the open circuit (E2) at the end. The returning reflected waves interfere with the outgoing waves to create standing waves along the line. At intervals of one-half wavelength the waves interfere destructively to create a node, a point where the voltage goes to zero. By sliding a thin Geissler tube (neon light) along the wires until its light went out, the location of the nodes could be determined, and by measuring the distance between them and multiplying by two the wavelength of the radio waves could be found. The frequency of the waves could be found by dividing the speed of light by the wavelength. Lecher lines were a common method of measuring frequency up until World War 2.

Public domain
This work was published on territory of the Russian Empire (Russian Republic) except for territories of the Grand Duchy of Finland and Congress Poland before 7 November 1917 and wasn't re-published for 30 days following initial publications on the territory of Soviet Russia or any other countries.

The Russian Federation (early Soviet Russia, RSFSR) is the historical heir but not legal successor of the Russian Empire, and the Russian Empire was not party to the Berne Convention (it was not country of Union for the protection of the rights of authors in their literary and artistic works), so according to article 5 of the Convention this work has no country of origin except:

  • in the case of cinematographic work the maker of which has his headquarters or his habitual residence in a country of the Union, the country of origin shall be that country,
  • in the case of of architecture erected in a country of the Union or other artistic works incorporated in a building or other structure located in a country of the Union, the country of origin shall be that country,
  • in the case of other works if the author is a national of a country of the Union¹, the country of origin shall be that country.

¹ - Author who is not a national of a country of the Union but who has his habitual residence in a country of the Union, be assimilated to national of that country.

The exclusive rights to this work do not extend on territory of the Russian Federation according to article 1256 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation (details), because this work does not meet the requirements on the territory of publication, on the author's nationality, and on obligations for international treaties.

If applicable, {{PD-Russia-expired}} should be used instead of this tag.

This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1929.
