Penetrating Rays from Radio-active Substances

Abstract

THE permanent radio-active substances uranium, thorium and radium all give out two types of rays, one easily absorbed and non-deviable by a magnetic field and the other more penetrating in character and deviated by a magnetic field. In addition to these rays, Villard, using the photographic method, first drew attention to the existence of some very penetrating rays from radium non-deviable by a magnetic field. This result was confirmed by Becquerel.
