The photon spectrum from radiative absorption of negative muons in /sup 16/O has been measured with a high-resolution pair spectrometer. The integrated branching ratio for photons with energies greater than 57 MeV relative to the total muon absorption rate is (3.8 +- 0.4) x 10/sup -5/. The data are consistent with nuclear model calculations for a value of the induced pseudoscalar coupling in /sup 16/O of g/sub P//g/sub A/ = 13.5 +- 1.5.
