The Lubzinski.spectrograph has been accurately focussed and its performance as a high dispersion vacuum ultraviolet instrument has been studied.
Light sources have been designed for the excitation of the hydrogen Lyman series. The α line of this series has been obtained using exposure times ranging from twenty minutes to seven hours. A spectrogram of the hydrogen-deuterium isotope structure obtained in the fifth grating order at a dispersion of 1 A°/mm. has been obtained permitting positive identification of the hydrogen Lyman α line.
Light sources for the excitation of the first-spark spectra of copper have, been constructed and experimentally studied. This spectrum contains a large number of standard wavelengths, in the vacuum ultraviolet; however, because of low grating intensity we were unable to observe these lines.
An existent discrepancy between calculated and measured, values for the ionization potential of Helium-like atoms has been resolved by a generalized Lamb electromagnetic shift. / Science, Faculty of / Physics and Astronomy, Department of / Graduate
