Abstract
RECENT investigations have shown that the ionisation produced by the secondary rays arising from a thin metal plate traversed normally by a primary beam of Röntgen or γ rays is greater on the emergent than on the incident side. The present experiments were made to see if a similar effect could be detected with ultra-violet light.
