The spectrum of molybdenum K α rays scattered by graphite at 45, 90 and 135 has been compared with the spectrum of the primary beam. A primary spectrum line when scattered is broken up into two lines, an" unmodified" line whose wave-length remains unchanged, and a" modified" line whose wave-length is greater than that of the primary spectrum line. Within a probable error of about 0.001 A, the difference in the wave-lengths (λ− λ 0) increases with the angle θ between the primary and the scattered rays according to the quantum relation (λ− λ 0)= λ (1− cos θ), where λ= h mc= 0.0242 A. This wave-length change is confirmed also by absorption measurements. The modified ray does not seem to be as homogeneous as the unmodified ray; it is less intense at small angles and more intense at large angles than is the unmodified ray.
