Abstract
The theory of the Stark effect in atomic spectra is discussed in general terms and it is shown that large effects arise when two terms which are related to each other in such a way as to satisfy the optical combining rules come close together in the spectrum. Fairly good values of the Stark displacements in complicated atoms may be obtained simply by using the hydrogenic values of the matrix components involved in the theoretical formulas. The ideas are illustrated by discussion of the existing data on the spectra of nickel, lithium, carbon spark, and argon.
