IF stellar radiation originates in the annihilation of stellar matter, it seems likely to be generated by quanta of wave-length 1.3 × 10-13 cm., each quantum being produced by the simultaneous destruction of one electron and one proton. Such radiation may be either absorbed or scattered when it encounters matter. The absorption of a quantum will eject an atom with a velocity equal to 0.99999985 time that of light. If this strikes an atom, a new quantum is emitted of wave-length equal to that of the original radiation, the hardness of which thus remains unaltered by absorption and re-emission. Scattering, however, produces a softening, precisely as in the Compton effect, and a succession of scatterings will increase the wave-length of the radiation until it degenerates into ordinary temperature-radiation.
