The cathode rays I used had velocities as low as 3 x 109 cm. Per second. So that the law (i) holds over a consider able range of velocities. From data given in my paper, it is easy to calculate the constant If. One cathode ray moving With a speed of 48 x 109 cm. Per second makes 15 pairs of ions per cm. Of air at a pressure of 1 m.m.
