Abstract

THERE are several surprising peculiarities of the phenomena of modification of wave-length in scattering, but the most striking is the rareness with which one is able to find an infra-red line to fit even approximately the frequency shifts observed. On the other hand, there are many strong infra-red lines which have no corresponding frequency shift. Moreover, there is scarcely any direct correlation of intensity even when there is a supposed match in frequency.
