Abstract
THE purpose of this communication is to describe experiments performed to determine the angular distribution of the electromagnetic radiation scattered by the positive column of a mercury discharge under the resonant conditions which have been previously investigated1,2. The experiments reported here prove the multiple order of the three largest resonances shown in Fig. 1 to be dipole.
