ECENT measurements' of the absorption of milli-meter waves in superconducting tin have shown that the temperature T „, say, at which the absorption departs from that in the normal state, divers from the transition temperature Tp, by an amount strongly dependent on the frequency co. It is the purpose of this note to show that such a dependence follows immediately from the concept of a gap in the electron energy level spectrum of a super-conductor. In particular, for the gap dependence on temperature typical of a second-order transition, Tp—T „~ co', when Tp—T „& (Tp. The results' for tin fu161 this relation within their experimental error, as shown in Fig. 1.If the mechanism responsible for superconductivity is supposed of a cooperative nature, leading to a gap of width ep in the electron energy spectrum in the ground state, its width, e, at finite temperatures will decrease, eventually vanishing at the transition temperature, Tp. The normal state is regardedas one in which the energy
