Synopsis

Index of Spectra offers a comprehensive, updated look at how spectra are measured and organized for practical use.

This revised edition greatly enlarges the material, presenting a wealth of wave-length data, new methods, and clarified tables that make it easier to compare observations across observers and instruments. The book emphasizes practical data for interpolation and reference, supporting research and teaching in chemistry and physics.

This edition gathers and reorganizes key measurements, adds a column for oscillation-frequency, and explains the standards used for wave-lengths in air. It covers visible, ultraviolet, and infrared regions, with commentary on how to convert to vacuum frequencies and apply corrections. The work is designed to act as a reliable reference when mapping spectra to the molecular structure of substances.

• Parallel wave-length tables from multiple observers for quick comparison
• Explanations of measurement methods and notation conventions
• Instructions for converting to oscillation frequencies and applying air corrections
• Support for interpolation and data usage in spectroscopy research

Ideal for readers who work with spectral data, wish to understand measurement standards, or need a solid reference to compare line positions across spectra.
