Nature of the Thermal Agitation in Liquids

Abstract

THE accompanying photographs (Fig. 1) represent the analysis by a Fabry-Perot étalon of the structure of the 4046 A., 4078 A. and 4358 A. radiations of a low-density water-cooled mercury arc, after they are scattered through an angle of 180° by a column of carbon tetrachloride liquid. In each case, two different temperatures of the liquid column (30° C. and 70° C.) were employed, the exposures being as nearly as possible otherwise under identical conditions.
