EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATIONS ON THE LIGHT SCATTERING OF COLLOIDAL SPHERES. VI. DETERMINATION OF SIZE DISTRIBUTION CURVES BY MEANS OF TURBIDITY SPECTRA

Abstract

The usefulness of turbidity spectra for deter mining size distribution curves is explored. The method is found to be equivalent in performance to that based upon spectra of the scattering ratio (depolarization) if the spectral turbidity maximum is within or near to the spectral range investigated. Simultaneous investigation of turbidity spectra and scattering ratio spectra provides a welcome check on the distribution curve derived from either method.
