Band Spectrum of Sodium Hydride

Abstract

THE band spectrum of sodium hydride has been studied by Hori1,2 and later by Olsson3. Olsson concluded from his analysis of the spectrum of NaD that the values of v given by Hori2 for NaH should be raised by three units. The results given below were obtained with the view of supplying the missing data for the three lowest vibrational levels of the excited state, which are of especial interest for comparison with the corresponding data for the hydrides of the other alkali metals.
