Abstract

Translation of and Commentary on Léon Rosenfeld’s “Über die Gravitationwirkungen des Lichtes”, Zeitschrift für Physik 65: 589–599 (1930). Originally published in German. Submitted for publication on September 26, 1930. See [1] the Comments with References section before reading this English translation. The gravitational field generated by an electromagnetic field is calculated using of laws of quantum mechanics, and it is shown that the resulting gravitational energy turns out to be infinitely large, raising a new difficulty for the Heisenberg–Pauli quantum theory of wave fields. In addition, the transition processes in first-order approximation involving light and gravitational quanta [2] are briefly discussed.

关于光的引力效应

罗森菲尔德“Über die gravationwirkungen des Lichtes”的翻译与评论，《世界物理学》65:589-599(1930)。最初以德语出版。1930年9月26日提交出版。在阅读这篇英文翻译之前，请参阅b[1]的参考评论部分。利用量子力学定律对电磁场产生的引力场进行了计算，结果表明引力场的能量是无限大的，这给海森堡-泡利波场量子理论提出了新的困难。此外，还简要讨论了涉及光和引力量子[2]的一阶近似跃迁过程。

期刊介绍： The purpose of this journal is to catalyse, foster, and disseminate an awareness and understanding of the historical development of ideas in contemporary physics, and more generally, ideas about how Nature works. The scope explicitly includes: - Contributions addressing the history of physics and of physical ideas and concepts, the interplay of physics and mathematics as well as the natural sciences, and the history and philosophy of sciences, together with discussions of experimental ideas and designs - inasmuch as they clearly relate, and preferably add, to the understanding of modern physics. - Annotated and/or contextual translations of relevant foreign-language texts. - Careful characterisations of old and/or abandoned ideas including past mistakes and false leads, thereby helping working physicists to assess how compelling contemporary ideas may turn out to be in future, i.e. with hindsight.
