Density ( ) = Vm( m) + Vf( f)

b = 1- Ø( m) + Ø( f)

Ø = ( m- b ) / ( m- f)

 Photoelectric effect, Pe

Low energy GRs are absorbed by the

formation in a process called
photoelectric absorption.

The efficiency of this process is related

to the atomic number of the material the
GRs are in.

We can measure this effect and

estimate the lithology from the PEF.
