Abstract
IN a letter to NATURE,1 J. R. Ashworth mentioned the use of a stepped wedge of fine quality tissue paper in describing a method of measuring ultra-violet light from the sky, photographically. In a later issue,2 P. W. Cunliffe pointed out that “a step wedge constructed of a diffusing medium, such as thin tissue paper, does not obey the logarithmic ‘law’ which is valid only for transparent media”. It so happens that I obtained data last spring which bear on this subject.
