The value of the dipole moment ,μ, of NH in the A³π state was found to be 1.31 ± .03 Debye. This value was
determined from data on the Stark effect measured from
spectrograms of the A³π- X³Σ-, 3360 Å, band taken on a
3.4 meter grating spectrograph in third order giving a resolution of about 100,000. The theory of the Stark
effect in molecules was taken from papers by W. G. Penny5
and Van Vleck and Hill9 . The magnitude of the electric field was determined from the Stark splitting of the hydrogen line Hβ according to the theory given in The Theory of Atomic Spectra6 . In the near future I should be able to complete work on the c’π→a’Δ, 3240 Å, band and give the values of the dipole moments for states c and a as well. Thus it will be possible to determine how the dipole moment changes with electronic configuration. / Science, Faculty of / Physics and Astronomy, Department of / Graduate
