CreatorBarkla; Charles Glover (1877-1944); British physicist
Date8 March 1915
DescriptionThanking Larmor for his letter and copies of papers. Barkla's letter to Nature of 4 March might explain things more clearly. Part of the energy of a primary beam of x-rays traversing a substance is scattered and he has measured and allowed for this. Part is absorbed and the emission of each fluorescent x-radiation can be isolated and measured. He explains this from his first letter to Larmor and he gives formulae for the scattered and absorbed energy.
