The Photoelectric Property of Selenium
Abstract
IN the letter which appeared in NATURE of December 26, Prof. Minchin does not state what kind of air-pump he used to exhaust the tube containing the light-sensitive selenium ``bridge.'' If he used a mercurial pump, the presence of mercury vapour would explain the great fall in resistance observed.
