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.)
