It is desirable to remove scale factors as far as possible. A unit of 

 length given by 



/3o ^oa/m^c^ 



will l)e tised to measin-e lengths. This unit is Xo/27r, where Xo is the wave- 

 length in an unbounded, unmagnetized medium. It will be assumed that 

 (3 is in future measu red i n units of i3q . Finally all magnetic fields will 

 be multiplied by y/n^/e, to give them the dimensions of electric fields. 

 Using the definitions of the p's and p's given in Section 2, Maxwell's equa- 

 tions may be put into the form:
