Abstract
THE Balmer lines in the spectra of the positive rays of hydrogen show Doppler displacement dλ given by the relation where λ is the wave-length of the light emitted by a neutral atom of the positive ray beam, moving with a velocity ν, the direction of motion of the atom making an angle θ with the direction of observation; c is the velocity of light.
