Abstract

A brief description of the theoretical approach of this new method is given. The main purpose of the method is to correlate in a more logical order not only the data yielding the two laws relating mass-absorption coefficient to wavelength and to atomic number, respectively, but also to delineate, within two discontinuities, the relationship existing between each value and the other ones taken as a whole. The empirical equation relating μ to λ is μ = Cλn. A table of complete values for the constant C and die power n to be assigned in the equation is given for finding the values of mass-absorption coefficients above unity for all elements (except hydrogen) and for all wavelengths between 0.17837 and 10 A. It is believed that until a complete set of experimental data obtained with modern equipment is available, this proposed method fills the enormous gaps between actual compiled values.
