Extract

The present article is intended to be the first of a series on the absorption of light by solutions of inorganic salts of different elements. With a few scattered exceptions all the work hitherto done on the absorption spectra of inorganic salts has been merely qualitative and has been confined to the visible spectrum. Kayser in his Spectroscopie, vol. iii. p. 45, states that in this field there is work for years and for numerous observers. E. C. C. Baly states in his Spectroscopy, p. 407, that not much is known about the absorption of light in inorganic salts. Merely for its own sake, then, an accurate determination of the molecular extinction coefficient for as many salts under as many different conditions of temperature and concentration, and for as many wave-lengths as possible, would be very valuable.
