Abstract
IN the examination of the velocity of compressional waves through rocks, Birch1 has shown that the mean atomic weight is a significant parameter. Murty2 also noted the importance of effective atomic numbers and atomic weights in the attenuation of γ-rays by heterogeneous materials. The purpose of this communication is to give operational definitions and suggest the necessity of distinguishing between mean and effective atomic weight.
