Synopsis

Explore the science of light with a classic reference on spectral measurements.

This revised, enlarged edition compiles essential wave-length data and introduces methods for measuring and mapping spectra, spanning visible, ultraviolet, and infrared regions.

This edition gathers decades of observation into a single, carefully organized resource. It explains how wave-lengths are determined, converted, and compared across observers, and it includes practical notes on oscillation frequencies and data interpolation.

• Comprehensive tables of spectra for elements and compounds, with detailed column notes
• Explanations of measurement methods and data adjustments used by leading observers
• Discussion of how to interpret line types, bands, and intensities for practical study
• Historical context showing how spectrum data advanced from the 19th century onward

Ideal for students, researchers, and readers seeking a solid foundation in spectral data and measurement techniques from a landmark work of its era.
