Abstract
A FEW years ago, one of us developed a method of obtaining the emission of ‘forbiddenâ atomic spectral lines of various metals. These lines have appeared in the spectrum of high-frequency electrode-less discharges in the mixtures of a small quantity of a given metallic vapour with some inert gases such as argon or helium. This method of excitation being applied to lead vapour led to the experimental proof of the existence of the magnetic dipole radiation.1
