Abstract
WHEN organic substances are introduced into a stream of active nitrogen, a luminous reaction zone is observed, closely resembling the atomic flames given by hydrogen and oxygen. The spectra of these luminous reaction zones have been photographed on ‘Ilford Zenith’ plates, using a ‘Hilger’ medium quartz spectrometer and exposure times of 4–6 hr.
