Use of the Fricke Dosimeter to Measure Photoelectric Absorption
Experiments were run to determine if liquid chemical systems such as the Fricke dosimeter may be used to measure the amount of photoelectric absorption for a particular photon spectrum. Extinction coefficients of ferric ion in various solutions were determined relative to the extinction coefficient of ferric ion in 0.8N H/sub 2/SO/sub 4/. Energy absorption in solutions was calculated by graphical integration. Results in 1.6, 0.8, and 0.3N H/sub 2/SO/ sub 4/ solutions with a variety of radiations are summarized. Optical density changes produced in O.8N H/sub 2/SO/sub 4/ solutions containing added zinc and cadmium are given. These additions did not detectably change the G value for ferric ion production in the Fricke dosimeter. (M.C.G.)
