Abstract
The optical absorption of sulfur has been studied in the vapor and liquid state and in solution. These measurements indicate the presence of S8 ring molecules which disappear at high temperature. The absorption edge in the liquid shifts at the rate of 6.20A/°C toward longer wavelengths with increasing temperature. It is believed that this displacement is related to the thermal excitation of the vibration levels of the sulfur molecules.Keywords
