Tabelle der Hauptlinien der Linienspektren aller Elemente nach Wellenlänge geordnet Massachusetts Institute of Technology Wavelength Tables

Abstract

THE appearance of these books is a sign of a more permanent aspect of the times than that which unfortunately must now engage most of our attention. Not only are the tables now before us of great intrinsic importance; they are significant also as a symbol of the transition of atomic spectroscopy from the field of physical theory, where the greater part of its work has now been completed, to that of industry, biology, and other activities in which it can find practical application.
