Paper, 'On the effect of the spectrum on the haloid salts of silver and on mixtures of the same' by [William de Wiveleslie] Abney
Reference number: PP/1/13
Date: 1881
Description
Abney writes: 'There have been many investigations as to the sensitiveness to the spectrum of the haloid salts of silver, from the very earliest days of photography; and when the results obtained by the different investigators are compared one with another there are often very wide discrepancies apparent. It appeared to me that it was desirable if possible to examine the subject afresh, and to endeavour to reconcile or to explain as far as possible these discrepancies.'
Annotations in pencil and ink. Includes four pages of diagrams of spectral lines.
Subject: Chemistry / Physics
Received 8 December 1881. Read 15 December 1881.
A version of this paper was published in volume 33 of the Proceedings of the Royal Society as 'On the effect of the spectrum on the haloid salts of silver, and on mixtures of the same'.
