Now if you didn't want to use the time honored method of using a syringe to infuse, and simply hollowed out a part of the melon, half value layers might change enough to show a shadowing. If you're really serious about the subject, the attenuation coefficient follows the Beer-Lambert law. And note, it's not the Vodka-Lambert Law. But it works for that, too.
If you want to confirm methodologies for successful melon infusion, check with the guys at Sigma Phi Epsilon at UTSA.
