Abstract
It is possible to obtain approximate theoretical relations between the spectra of different atoms ionised to such an extent that they possess the same electron structure. In this paper these relations are used to extrapolate values of the terms of the spectra of various lithium-like and sodium-like atoms.From the terms so estimated lines can be calculated, and in many cases correlated with lines observed by Millikan and Bowen in the hot spark spectrum of the corresponding element. Revised term values can then be calculated from the lines so identified.The spectra of lithium-like atoms treated in this way include those from Be II up to O VI, and those of sodium-like atoms, the spectra P V and S VI.This publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
