Abstract

The expression for transmissivity of submillimeter waves through metal light pipes, $T=\text{exp}[-\sqrt{\nu /\sigma }(L/d)]$ is given. A comparison of the theoretical calculation with the data measured is made. It is shown that these results agree more closely with the experimental values than do the previously calculated theoretical values.
