As the simplest problem involving the multiple scattering of gamma-rays, the case of perpendicular incidence on a plane slab has been studied by various simple theoretical methods. No exact solution is available as a test of these methods, but approximations of increasing accuracy, known to give too small a dose under the slab, have been combined with a theoretical upper limit for the dose, forming a zone in which the exact solution must lie. Most of the methods tested could be used even if pair-creation or the photoelectric effect gave an appreciable absorption, though for simplicity the computations have been carried out for pure Compton scattering and for quantum energies of a few MeV. Polarization by the Compton effect has been neglected. The best of the simple methods is a modification of the upper limit solution; in problems where this is too difficult to formulate, a good alternative is to calculate the dose from unscattered and once-scattered quanta, giving the latter the penetrating power of the incident quanta and the maximum possible energy-absorption cross-section.

In the present communication I propose to give an account of a photometric arrangement presenting some novel features, and of some results found by means of it for the reflecting power of glass and silver surfaces. My attention was drawn to the subject by an able paper of Professor Rood,* who, in giving some results of a photometric method, comments upon the lack of attention bestowed by experimentalists upon the verification, or otherwise, of Fresnel’s formulæ for the reflection of light at the bounding surfaces of trans­parent media. It is true that polarimetric observations have been made of the ratio of the intensities with which the two polarised components are reflected; but even if we suppose (as is hardly the case) that these measurements are altogether confirmatory of Fresnel’s formulæ, the question remains open as to whether the actual intensity of each component is adequately represented. This doubt would be set at rest, were it shown that Young’s formulæ for perpendicular incidence (to which Fresnel’s reduce), viz., ( μ ‒ 1/ μ + 1) 2 , agrees with experiment. Professor Rood’s observations relate to the effect of a plate of glass when interposed in the course of the light. He measures, in fact, the transmission of light by the plate, and not directly the reflection. No one is in a better position than myself for appreciating the advan­tages of this course from the point of view of experiment. In the first place, the incidence can easily be made strictly perpendicular, in which case no question arises of a separate treatment of the two polarised components of ordinary light. And, what is much more important, the interposition of the plate leaves the course of the light unchanged, and thus allows the alteration of intensity to be determined in an accurate manner with the simplest arrangements.
