putation involved in this method is considerable although, of course, less than that for a complete Fourier analysis. Recently Sturm7 has brought out a graphical method which is claimed to lead to a quick and reasonably accurate estimate of these quantities. No arbitrary assumption is made here with regard to the profiles of the diffraction lines unlike in the previous method.
