Abstract
IN his letter to NATURE (January 3, 1925, p. 13), Prof. Gray states: “If the secondary β-rays, produced in light elements by the hard γ-rays of radium-C, are recoil electrons, with energy given by the quantum theory of scattering, … the effective wave-length of the γ-rays must be much smaller than that usually accepted. Without going into details … no theory, as at present developed, can account for the properties of scattered γ-radiation”.
