Abstract
THE results of experiments that have been made by a number of investigators on the absorption of X-rays, secondary X and γ rays, are so complicated by a variety of conditions that few general conclusions can be drawn from them. It is apparent that a knowledge of the simple laws governing the absorption of X-rays, and the emission of secondary rays, would in many cases enormously simplify the explanations, and save much fruitless labour.
