Abstract
IN the September issue, 1928, of the Physical Review, B. Davis and D. P. Mitchell reported an experimental investigation of the molybdenum Kα-radiation scattered by graphite with the aid of an ionisation spectrometer. In their work it is stated that the normal scattered radiation should have a much more complicated structure than the primary radiation. Instead of the one Kα1-line they find four lines: one in the same position as the Kα1 line and three lines shifted to the long wave-length side by 1.2; 2; 11.3 X-units respectively, the distance between the Kα1 and Kα2 being 4.28 X-units. As these shifts correspond more or less accurately to the , , and Klevel of the carbon atom, the effect reminds one of the well-known Raman effect in the optical region.
