The Royal Society: Science in the Making

Referee's report by John Cunningham McLennan, on a paper 'The first spark spectrum of silver Ag II' by B U R Rao

Reference number: RR/50/105

Date: July 1934

Description

Sectional committee: Physics

Not recommended for publication. The accuracy of wave numbers is questionable and some lines are used more than once. There is no justification for changing the identification of Shenstone's 5d terms and the intensities of newly classified lines are in agreement with predicted empirical or theoretical rules.

[Published in Proceedings of the Royal Society A, 1925].
