.phophetS have hazarded that the
'electronS are scattered and Or.
Compton's work backs up this new
idea. Addressing the American
Physical Society at Cornell Univer-
sity he said:
Several weeks ago / noticed a
beautiful halo around the moon.
Half and hour later the halo was
visibly smaller and rain began to
fall. The Interpretation OF such
haloes. as due to diffraction Of the
moonlight by droplets OF water
suspended in the air, Is we'll known.
The larger the droplets the small
Ter the angle of diffraction. So by
observing the diameter Of the halo
we can estimate the size Of the
water drops which aus II. "A
shrinking halo means a growing
drop, and hence probable rain"
"A method similar to observing
this halo was used TO see" the
electr0ns. For moonlight Dr. Comp
ton substituted x-rays and for
vapor used helium gas The X-rays
made d~iffraction haloeS in the gas
and from these the positions Of
electrons was estimated. DR.. Comp
ton did not originate the halo
study method. His discovery is q
way to find out what the haloes
mean.
DR.. Compton finds that the cleo
tron distribution is definitely diff
fused instead Of being strongly
concentrated at a certain distance
from the atoms center" There IS
however some density about where
the orbits calculated by Bohr would
lie.
we may a with some con-
fidence." DR.. Compton said. that
the aspect Of the problem Of atomic
structure which Is connected with
the distribution Of the electrons in
atoms Is finding a satisfactory
solution"
