The Emission Spectrum of Hot Water in the Region between 370 and 930 cm -1
Abstract
An emission spectrum of the water molecule at a temperature of 1550°C has been recorded in the range from 373 to 933 cm -1. More than 4000 pure rotational lines were observed with the strongest belonging to the ground state (000) and the first excited bending vibrational level (010). Transitions involving rotational quantum numbers Jand Kasignificantly higher than previously recorded have been assigned.
