Extract

This paper is an account of an experimental investigation which was made on the behaviour of the secondary spectrum of hydrogen as affected by the pressure of the luminous gas. It was conjectured that the classification of the lines of the spectrum according to their behaviour in this respect should be of value in the problem of accounting for their origin in terms of the quantum theory. There can be no doubt, on the evidence given below, that the method is of some importance. For this reason it has been considered worth while bringing the results already obtained to the notice of workers in this field by publishing tables of intensities.
