Excerpt from Lines in the Arc Spectra of Elements Arranged in the Order of Their Wavelengths From Wavelength 7950 to Wavelength 2200 Under Column 2 will be found the approximate brightness of the line as occurring in the spectrum of the undiluted element, the scale of brightness being arranged with a maximum intensity of 10. In the case of substances in which only a small proportion of any element is present, only certain lines from that element will appear in the resulting spectrum, and the more persistent of these (which are not always the brightest in the spectrum of the element) are denoted by an asterisk in the case of those elements on which investigations in this direction have been p...
Ever since the boom of spectrum analysis in the 1860s, spectroscopy has become one of the most fruitful research technologies in analytic chemistry, physics, astronomy, and other sciences. This book is the first in-depth study of the ways in which various types of spectra, especially the sun's Fraunhofer lines, have been recorded, displayed, and interpreted. The book assesses the virtues and pitfalls of various types of depictions, including hand sketches, woodcuts, engravings, lithographs and, from the late 1870s onwards, photomechanical reproductions. The material of a 19th-century engraver or lithographer, the daily research practice of a spectroscopist in the laboratory, or a student's u...
