Toward Knowledge of the Fluorescence of Mercury Vapor,
Abstract
In connection with results of previous work, which are briefly reported here, the emission of the line at 1849 A in the fluorescence of mercury vapor was studied with negative results. The fluorescence spectrum excited with an aluminum spark was studied with mercury vapor superheated from 245 to 910C. All the lines and bands in the fluorescence spectrum become much weaker in the presence of hydrogen, except for the band with the long-wave limit at 2349 A, which remains unchanged in intensity. The carriers of these bands are deduced from the intensity curves of the fluorescence bands. The fluorescence band with its long-wave limit at 2349 A was also studied in saturated mercury vapor. Its decrease in intensity with increasing vapor density is explained through the rising band absorption, based on the absorption records.
