A photograph of the tracks of electrons,
ejected by the gamma rays from radium,
after these had been filtered,
through 2.5 cm. of steel.
Some of the electrons have energies of 1 MeV.
The photograph was taken,
with a magnetic field of 12,000 oersteds.
If you see someone slogging away, but doing it all wrong. Please remember, a great effort, with no results, is worth more than a great result with no effort. The first is purchased at great cost and the latter, in terms of cost, is worthless.
