Extract

Now that the wave-lengths of the main γ-rays of radium B and C are known it has become a matter of some importance to determine their total energy, because from such measurements it is possible to deduce the average number of quanta emitted by each disintegrating atom. If in addition the relative intensities of the different γ-rays could be determined it would be possible to give a complete description of the γ-ray emission.
