where ω = is the frequency of the motion. This equation
σ
forms a simple relation between the variations in E and I for
periodic systems, which will be often used in the following.
Returning now to systems of one degree of freedom, we
shall take our starting point from Planck’s original theory
of a linear harmonic vibrator. According to this theory the
stationary states of a system, consisting of a particle execut-
