Abstract

A critical discussion of the equivalent wavelength representation of polychromatic primary radiation as applied to the fundamental parameters method is given. This representation raises problems with appropriate selection of equivalent wavelengths and with accurate calculation of secondary fluorescence. Methods for reducing these difficulties are discussed and have been incorporated into a mini-computer program which achieves reasonable accuracy for alloy test cases.
