Abstract
I SEE that the photographs in colour, taken by Becquerel's plan, are said to be mainly due to interference. My own observations do not confirm this statement. A photograph of the spectrum in colours can be readily taken on silver chloride on a glass plate, and be examined both by reflected and transmitted light. The colours in the two cases are identical, which is contrary to the “interference” explanation.
