Relative Transition Probabilities of the Swan Bands of Carbon.
Abstract
The relative transition probabilities of the vibrational bands in the Swan system (~ll~-~ll~) of the car- bon molecule C2 have been derived from relative intensities of the band heads appearing in electric-furnace emission spectra under conditions of thermodynamic equilibrium. The method and possible sources of error are discussed. The results from furnace spectra are compared with those from theoretical and experimental work of other investigators
