Abstract
The intensity of a monochromatic beam of x-rays reflected from platinum, silver, and glass mirrors was measured for angles of incidence varying from 0.75 to 1.25 times the critical angle. Radiation having a wave-length of 0.69A was obtained by reflection from calcite. Values of the intensity of the reflected beam calculated by Thibaud's modification of Fresnel's equation were found to be in good agreement with experimental values obtained from platinum. Experimental results obtained from silver and glass mirrors do not agree quantitatively with the theoretical values. No explanation for the lack of concordance is offered.Keywords
