Extract

§ 1. The scattering of X-rays is one of the most promising methods of approaching the constitution of the atom. Sir J. J. Thomson's theory undoubtedly gives the main features of the phenomenon. But there are certain facts, namely:

(i) the increase of scattering with heavy elements for soft rays,

(ii) the extra-radiation, and

(iii) the low value of the scattering coefficient for γ-rays,

for which it affords no explanation. It seems worth while trying to extend the theory so as to cover these facts also.
