On a New Law of Series Spectra
Abstract
This communication is intended to show how we may derive from the known spectral series of an element, new series which represent accurately, without the inclusion of any new constant, nearly all of the series of lines recently discovered by Lenard, Konen, Hagenbach, Saunders, Moll, Ramage, and Bergen. The new principle of combination also finds application to other spectra, particularly to helium and the earth alkalies. Closer relationships to the atomic weight than have been known hitherto are also furnished.
