Roentgen Rays and Phenomena of the Anode and Cathode.
Thompson, Edward P. (Edward Pruden)
X-rays
Brass Strong Fairly good
Toolsteel Barely perceptible Very feeble
Zinc None Very strong
Aluminum Very strong None
Copper None Fairly strong but much
less than zinc
Lead None Very strong but a little
weaker than zinc
Silver Strong, a thin plate Weaker than copper
being used
Tin None Very strong about like
lead
Nickel None About like copper
Lead-glass Very strong Feeble
Mica Very strong Very strong about like
lead
Ebonite Strong About like copper.
By comparing, as in previous experiments, the intensity of the
photographic impression by reflected rays with an equivalent impression
due to a direct exposure of the same bulb and at the same distance, that
is, by calculations from the times of exposure under assumption that the
action upon the plate was proportionate to the time, the following
approximate results were obtained:
Impression
Reflecting by Impression
Body Direct by
Action Reflected
Rays.
Brass 100 2
Tool steel 100 0.5
Zinc 100 3
Aluminum 100 0
Copper 100 2
Lead 100 2.5
Silver 100 1.75
Tin 100 2.5
Nickel 100 2
Lead-glass 100 1
Mica 100 2.5
Ebonite 100 2
He stated that while these figures can be but rough approximations,
there is, nevertheless a fair probability that they are correct, in so
far as the relative values of the sciagraphic impressions of the various
objects by reflected rays are concerned.
