Extract

T. Hori has recently carried out a careful study of the ultra-violet bands of the hydrogen molecule and deduced numerical values for the energy levels involved in their production. Mr R. H. Fowler pointed out to the writer the desirability of re-calculating the specific heat of H2 by using Hori's empirical values of the energy. The present note gives the result of the calculation, which is of course similar to the investigation of Kemble and van Vleck.
