The difference in efficiency at the different wave-lengths may be due to the differences in absorption at the various wave-lengths. According to the Grotthus Draper law, only absorbed light is effective in promoting a photochemical reaction. If there is to be exact pro- portionality between absorption and effect, we should expect that the absorption at X2804A would be about double that at X2537, 2654 and 3025A and about 20 times that at Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Marine Biological Laboratory (Woods Hole, Mass. ); Marine Biological Laboratory (Woods Hole, Mass. ).
