Magnetic Perturbations of the Spectral Lines.—Further Resolution of the Quartet

Abstract

FOR some time past I have been in hope that, with the strong magnetic field now at my disposal in the Physical Laboratory of the Royal University of Ireland, I might perhaps be able to effect some further resolution of the spectral lines. For example, in the case of a line which is converted into a triplet (normal type) by a magnetic field of strength 20,000, or thereabouts, it is possible that each constituent of this triplet may become further resolved into a doublet, or a triplet, when the strength of the field is increased to 40,000 or 50,000 C.G.S. units.
