| Popis: | Prof. R. W. Wood has made many interesting observations on the fluorescence of sodium vapour. They are conveniently summarised in his ‘Physical Optics’ (MacMillan, 1911). The fluorescent spectra he has obtained are apparently connected with the banded absorption spectrum of dense sodium vapour. If white light is employed, this banded absorption spectrum is re-emitted completely as a fluorescent emission spectrum. If monochromatic light is used, a portion only of the complete band spectrum is emitted, this portion consisting of a moderate number of lines approximately equally spaced along a normal spectrum, and including a line coincident with the exciting line. These observations on the band spectrum are of great interest and importance, but observations on the line spectrum of sodium, in absorption and in fluorescence, are more within the range of theoretical discussion at the present time. |
