Series Spectra in Oxygen and Sulphur

Abstract

A FEW months ago I wrote a paper (Abstract, Physical Review, 21, 710, 1923) on “New Series Spectra in Oxygen.” It was read at the meeting of the American Physical Society in Washington, D.C., last April. Some questions arose there concerning these series because of their rather unusual character. Hence I re-photographed the spectra of oxygen and obtained data that confirm and extend my earlier results. I also studied the element sulphur, which oresembles oxygen in its spectroscopic properties, and obtained, for the first time I think, sulphur spectra in the region of wave-lengths shorter than 2500.
