THE SIGNIFICANCE OF SPECTROSCOPICALLY DETERMINED PLASMA JET TEMPERATURES

Abstract

The concepts of temperature utilized in plasma physics are explained in a semi-qualitative manner. The laws which govern the emitted radiation from optically thick and from optically thin plasmas are utilized. Examples of the measurements of three of these temperatures are included. (Author)
