31. As an extreme case, consider an atom in an excited state, which, in free space, would radiate a photon of frequency v. If placed in a wave guide whose cutoff frequency is higher than v, then as pointed out by D. Kleppner, the atom could not radiate. See (4), sect. IVA; G. Raithel et al., in (4), chap. II, sect. IIA; and references therein.

42. We could use the Clausius-Mosotti relation, as has been done to good effect by P. W. Milonni and M.-L. Shih [in Contemporary Physics, J. S. Douglas, Ed. (Taylor and Francis, Bristol, PA, 1993), vol. 33, p. 313], but we need the relation only for ε - 1 ∼ 0. The linear relation is simpler, and the results are comparable.
