THE EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATION OF VISIBLE RADIATION FROM EXPLOSIVELY SHOCKED ARGON,
Abstract
A time resolved spectrophotometric technique has been used to investigate the nature and intensity of the visible radiation emitted from explosively shocked argon at an initial pressure of 1 atm and at ambient temperature. Argon shocked by the explosive RDX/TNT 60/40 radiated as a black body at about 21,000K. Comparisons have been made with the other rare gases and the effects of initial shock strength, reflected shocks and initial gas pressure have been investigated. The experimental results are compared with those of other workers and with theoretical values. (Author)
