Recently much attention has been given to the study of this phenomenon. In this paper new experimental observations are presented and discussed.

The data have been obtained assuming a new model of the mechanism involved, which was suggested in an earlier study by the author. The measurements have bean carried out with a conventional apparatus slightly modified by the author. All possible sources of error are taken into account and consideration is given to the advantages and shortcomings of the present appro­ach. The results are analysed and the analysis is followed by a comparison of the data obtained with those available in literature. It is hoped that the disagreement may be accounted for by an improved experimental technique of the present investigation.
