Spectroscopic measurements were made on plasmas in electromagnetic shock tubes to test the state of equilibrium in these plasmas. In an Argon-Oxygen mixture the relative intensities of AII and AIII lines and of OII lines indicated that complete equilibrium was not established. In a Helium plasma the observed line intensities showed that the populations of the Hel levels agreed with a Boltzmann equilibrium distribution. / Science, Faculty of / Physics and Astronomy, Department of / Graduate
