INTRODUCTION.
The investigation of which an account is given in the following pages was carried out during the year
1910 in the Pasadena laboratory of the Solar Observatory. The object was to obtain as complete data as
possible concerning the influence of a magnetic field on the spectra of iron and titanium through a con-
siderable range of wave-length, and to present this in such form as would be useful for reference in con-
nection with questions concerning the effect of a magnetic field on the spectrum lines, such as those arising
in investigations on sun-spots, as well as for comparison with the known phenomena of the Zeeman effect for
spectra other than those of iron and titanium. The tables are designed to give an accurate description
of all lines between \37oo and X 6700, so far as it has been possible to photograph them. The measure-
ments of magnetic separations for each spectrum through this range show clearly the degree in which
the separation changes with the wave-length. The complex types as well as the simpler are studied with
reference to the prevalence of a fundamental interval between the components. Numerous cases are
noted of the recurrence of certain types of separation, and while the search for series relations in these
many-lined spectra has not proved fruitful, the descriptions of the type of separation show whether
certain lines are possibly connected, or whether they unquestionably arise from different radiating par-
ticles. A few cases of dissymmetry among components are given in the tables. It has been possible,
by reason of the large amount of material collected, to make a detailed comparison between the Zeeman
separation and the displacement of lines produced by pressure around a light source, and it is shown to
what degree a correspondence exists. The reproductions of spectra which are given are of selected regions
showing the various types of magnetic separation and the behavior of groups of lines which are of special
interest in other investigations on these spectra.
The desirability of making the material as complete as possible has necessitated photographing
the weaker lines in these two spectra so far as they were obtainable, a condition which has added to the
labor and altered to some extent the experimental methods that would have been used for the stronger
lines alone. The tables for titanium contain all but the weakest of those lines given in the regular lists
of arc and spark lines. As much can not be claimed for iron, however, as numerous lines, fairly strong
in the arc, are not brought out by the spark in the magnetic field even with an exposure of many hours.
This is especially true of lines of diffuse appearance, which are particularly numerous in the iron
spectrum.
The results of a number of investigations on the Zeeman effect for certain parts of the iron spectrum
have been published, and will be spoken of in the historical summary to follow. These are fragmentary,
however, with some discordances, and it is believed that there is little real duplication in the present
paper, even for those parts of the spectrum which have been treated to some extent by others.
THEORY AND FORMER INVESTIGATIONS.
i. GENERAL.
It is not the purpose of the author to give here in any detail the development of the theory of the
Zeeman effect or to summarize at length the many investigations which have led to the present state
of knowledge regarding the phenomenon. Several such accounts have appeared in publications which
are usually accessible. Among these may be mentioned the memoir of Cotton (i)* (1899), the chapter
by Runge in Kayser's Handbuch der Spectroscopie (2) (1902), the detailed discussion by Voigt (3) (1908)
in connection with the related optical phenomena, and the brief treatment by Lorentz (4) (1909) in his
Columbia Lectures. Of these the second is by far the most complete, covering fully the historical devel-
opment, methods of investigation, and the theory and spectroscopic results contained in the literature
up to that time. For the purposes of the present paper, we shall consider the points in the theory which
apply closely to the results of this investigation, and summarize the work of other investigators in so
far as their results relate directly to those of the present research.
The later work on the Zeeman phenomenon has been concerned largely with the study of complex and
unusual types of separation. It was shown during the earlier investigations by Zeeman (5) , Michelson (6),
Preston (7), Cornu (8), Becquerel and Deslandres (9), (10), Ames, Earhart and Reese ("), Reese (12) , and
Kent (13) that a large proportion of the spectrum lines of any of the elements that have been examined
are split into more than three components. This involved an extension of the original theory of Lorentz,
which satisfactorily explained the triplet separation, in which two components are given by the light
vibrations in a plane perpendicular to the lines of magnetic force, these showing respectively a right-
handed and a left-handed circular polarization, and a central component by the light vibrations paral-
lel to the magnetic force-lines. Since the phenomenon in its simplest form justified taking the electron
theory as the basis of all conceptions of the action of the magnetic field upon spectra, a series of investi-
gations, among which those of Lorentz (14), Larmor (15), Voigt (16), and Robb (17) may be mentioned, have
greatly extended the mathematical theory, both for radiation in general and for the explanation of the
more complex forms of magnetic separation. Voigt and Robb have based their theory on the idea of
mutually connected systems of electrons, and have thus been able to account for many of the more com-
plicated types of Zeeman separation. However, both the nature of the connections and the way the
magnetic field effects such systems are but imperfectly explained.
The proportionality of separation of components to field-strength has been worked on by Reese ("),
Kent ( 13) , Runge and Paschen (18), Farber ( 19) , Weiss and Cotton (20), Paschen ( 21) , and Stettenheimer (22),
and established to a very close approximation. The law enunciated by Preston (23 ) that the character of
separation and distance between components (measured in terms of change of vibration frequency) is the
same for corresponding lines in the series of Balmer, Rydberg, and Kayser and Runge has been investigated
by Reese (12), Kent (13), Runge and Paschen (24), Runge and Precht (25), Miller (26), and Lohmann (27).
The last two have found some exceptions, though Runge and Paschen observed very close agreement for
the series lines of a number of elements. This relation has frequently been used, recently by Moore (28) ,
in an attempt to find series among spectra containing many lines.
There has been considerable work in recent years on the commensurability of the separations of
spectrum lines, that is, on the existence of a fundamental interval of which the separations of all com-
plex lines are multiples, and on the extent to which this applies to the separations of triplets in which

there is always a great diversity for the lines of the same element. As this point will receive a good deal
of attention in the consideration of the results for the spectra of iron and titanium, it may be well to go
briefly into this portion of the theory.
If the Zeeman phenomenon were in full accord with the simplest form of the electron theory as given
by Lorentz, all lines would show the separation of the "normal triplet," in which the distance of each
side component from the central line would be given by the relation
e HX 2
AX=
m 4-irv
where e/m is the ratio of charge to mass of the electron, H the field-strength, and v the velocity of light.
This is derived (*a) from the fact that the change of period of the light producing one side com-
ponent is eH/2tn in 2ir seconds, or eH/4irm vibrations in one second. The number of vibrations per
second is n=v/\. The change of frequency is then
, vd\ eH
dn===-
X 47TWI
from which
e HX 2
AX=
m 4irv
If v be expressed in centimeters per second, the change in frequency per cm length is
AX ^ e H
X J m 4
The factor e/m is here expressed in electro-magnetic units. This value of AX/X 2 for a given field deter-
mines the separation of the side components of the "normal triplet" from the central line, and a con-
siderable number of lines in a spectrum will usually give a value of e/m in close agreement with that
obtained for cathode rays. The separation of the majority of triplets, however, differs from the normal
type, though sometimes by even multiples. This means either that there are real differences in the values
of e/m for different negative electrons, or that the relation derived from the elementary theory is not
sufficiently general. Lorentz inclines to the latter view (40). In discussing this question, Voigt (30)
observes that it is by no means certain that the field acting upon a given electron is the same as that
which we measure by one of our regular methods. The field due to the movement of charged parts of
the molecule itself must be recognized as possibly superposed on the external field due to the magnet.
The elementary theory does not provide for the more complicated types of separation, nor does any
extension so far worked out cover them satisfactorily. However, an examination of the results of Runge
and Paschen (18) (24) for several elements and of Lohmann (27) for the spectrum of neon (with the
echelon spectroscope) enabled Runge (g) to enunciate the following:
Die bisher beobachteten komplizicrten Zerlegungen von Spektrallinien im magnetischen Felde zeigen die folgende Eigentiim-
lichkeit: Die Abstande der Komponenten von der Mitte sind Vielfache eines aliquoten Teil des normalen Abstiindes
_AX^g H
X 2 m 4^v
Sicher beobachtet sind bisher die Teile a/2, 0/3, 0/4, 0/5, a/6, 0/7, a/n, 0/12.
This work of Runge is regarded by Voigt as showing that the internal field acting on the electron can
have little effect, that the electrons within the molecule have the same value of e/m as that of cathode rays.
Such a relation between the separation for individual lines and that of the normal triplet is of high
interest when applied to spectra containing many lines. It has been examined by Moore (28) for the spectra
of barium, yttrium, zirconium, osmium, and thorium, and relations similar to those observed by Runge
have been obtained. The objection can be raised to this method that, by choosing small fractions of the
interval a and correspondingly large multiples, the difference between the calculated and observed values
THEORY AND FORMER INVESTIGATIONS. 5
can be made as small as we please and brought within the errors of measurement. Runge gives a cri-
terion as to how far it is allowable to go in such calculations. This question of commensurability will
receive attention in the following study of the iron and titanium spectra.
Dissymmetry in the separation and in the intensity of components on the red and violet sides has
been observed many times in Zeeman investigations. Voigt (3*) arrived at the conclusion that light
observed at right angles to the force-lines should give a triplet whose red component is slightly closer to
the central line and stronger than the violet component. Observations by Zeeman (30) on the iron
spectrum gave a number of cases where such a dissymmetry seemed to exist. Reese (12) also found triplets
and lines of higher separation for several elements which appeared to show the effect. More recently
a series of papers has been published by Zeeman (31) comparing the mercury triplets A 5770 and \57gi
by various optical methods. The latter line is distinctly shown to have its red component nearer the
central line than is the violet component, while A 5770 remains perfectly symmetrical. The amount of
dissymmetry appeared to vary as the square of the field-strength. This confirmed a measurement made
about the same time by Gmelin (32) with the echelon grating. A dissymmetry of this sort is always small
and difficult of detection. Large dissymmetries are to be classified as abnormal separations. A few lines
of such a character occur in the iron and titanium spectra, which will be noted later. Lines of very pro-
nounced dissymmetry were measured by Jack (33) in the spectra of tungsten and molybdenum. Chromium
also shows a great number of unsymmetrical separations. Some striking cases were observed by Dufour (34) ,
and many others have been photographed in this laboratory. The theory of coupled electrons, by which
Voigt (35) has sought to explain complex separations in general, allows for the occurrence of such dissym-
metries.
The magnetic separation of absorption lines, or the "inverse Zeeman effect," has been investigated
by a number of observers, as a rule for only a few lines. In such experiments white light is passed through
the vapor of a luminous source placed between the poles of a magnet. It was shown by Konig (36) and
Cotton (37) that there is a full correspondence between the effects of the magnetic field for both emission
and absorption lines. The splitting of lines in the spectra of sun-spots observed by Hale (38) was thus
proved to be due to the action of magnetism by comparing the Zeeman effect for the same lines as pro-
duced in the laboratory. The peculiarities in separations of sun-spot lines can thus be studied, as is being
done in this laboratory and by Zeeman and Winawer (39) in their investigation of special polarization
effects for absorption lines, especially when the light passes at different angles to the magnetic force-lines.
2. POSSIBLE RELATION BETWEEN ZEEMAN SEPARATION AND PRESSURE DISPLACEMENT.
A preliminary paper on this subject has been published by the author (40). In the discussion of the
present results material will be offered for an extended study to test the hypothesis of a direct connection
between the Zeeman effect and the pressure displacement for spectrum lines. That such a relation exists
has been strongly advocated by Humphreys (4 ) in a series of papers which have been summarized (4) by
him, together with all other pressure investigations up to the year 1908. Humphreys's hypothesis, briefly
stated, is that the part of the atom to which the light impulse is due is a ring of electrons, rotating with
a period of the order of the light vibration. Each of the electron rings will then set up a magnetic field
of its own. The luminous gas will be in a condition of minimum potential energy when the planes of
the rings are parallel and the electrons revolving in the same direction. We must, however, in view of
the Zeeman effect, consider that different rings may rotate in opposite directions, and assume merely
that the regular condition is a rotation of the electrons in orbits approximately circular, with a tendency
for the planes of these to become parallel. The effect of pressure in the surrounding medium will be to
bring the rings closer together, thereby altering their mutual induction. If two rings rotating in the same
direction are made to approach, the current in each ring will decrease, which means a retardation of the
rotating electrons and an increase of period in the corresponding light vibration, resulting in a shift of
the spectrum lines toward the red.
6 INFLUENCE OF A MAGNETIC FIELD UPON THE SPARK SPECTRA OF IRON AND TITANIUM.
If rings of opposite rotation are forced closer together, their motion will be accelerated, resulting
in a shift of the spectrum lines to the violet. Assuming that both directions of rotation are present for
electrons producing each spectrum line, the general result will be a widening of all lines as the pressure
increases, with a prevailing shift of the maximum of each line toward the red. This last is due to the
fact that the condensing action of the pressure on rings rotating in the same direction is assisted by the
effort of these rings to get into the strongest part of their mutual field; while for oppositely rotating
rings the approach is opposed by the magnetic action, so that on the whole the retardation of the period
for a given line is greater than the acceleration, and the line, while being widened toward both red and
violet, has its maximum intensity moved toward the red.
Another theory, by Richardson (43), opposes the connection of pressure displacement with Zeeman
effect. Instead of basing his reasoning on magnetic perturbations, Richardson considers the electron
as an oscillator which sets up an alternating electrostatic field in its neighborhood. This field would
produce forced vibrations in the electrons belonging to neighboring atoms, an effect increased by pres-
sure in the medium. The electric field produced by the forced vibrations would then react on that of
the radiating electrons. The mathematical development gives a change of wave-length proportional to
the pressure and toward the red. Worked out numerically with the available data, the electrostatic
resonance theory requires values for the pressure displacement many times greater than those observed
experimentally. A modified conception of the equilibrium conditions might account for this discrepancy.
Richardson objects to Humphreys's theory largely on the ground that the magnetic disturbances
of period would be far too small to account for the observed displacements of lines unless the magnetic
field for any atom is greater than that corresponding to saturated iron, which Richardson holds to be
an upper limit. This is replied to by Humphreys in a later paper (41*, in which he questions the right to
base the possible magnetic intensity of iron atoms upon the properties of iron in large masses, since the
permeability and saturation point depend upon many factors of composition and physical condition.
Going farther, Humphreys considers an ideal electron ring and deduces an expression for the change of
rotation frequency brought about by an external magnetic field H, such as that due to a neighboring
electron ring. This is found to give an expression for the change of wave-length AX in the ether vibra-
tions of original wave-length X which reduces to AX/HX 2 =C, a constant, which is Preston's law for the
Zeeman phenomenon, indicating that the ideal electron ring is very similar in structure to the actual
radiating particle. If this similarity be admitted, Humphreys is justified in his next step, which is the
substitution of known values in the expression for the change of wave-length of ether vibrations pro-
duced by a change in the period of the electron ring. This gives a field-intensity for the rotating ring
of 45 X io 7 , which is about ten thousand times that of the strongest fields used in spectroscopic work.
The change in mutual induction by pressing together electron rings having fields of this magnitude may
be expected to give shifts of spectrum lines of the order of those measured.
A third theory is that presented by Larmor (44), who treats the electron as a Hertzian doublet in a field
of electric force. This field would be altered by any change in the distribution of material particles in
the medium such as would result from increased pressure. A molecule approaching a vibrating electron
would decrease the rigidity of the ether at that point. A lowering of the ether strain would tend to increase
the period of the electron, and it is shown that this might give displacements of the magnitude observed
for spectrum lines. A note by Humphreys (4'c) points out that several consequences of Larmor's theory
agree only to a limited degree with observed facts, although his claim that Larmor's equations should
give the amount of displacement inversely proportional to the wave-length is incorrect.
The interacting magnetic atoms of Humphreys seem to provide a very plausible theory, but experi-
mental data have been lacking to show the probability of a connection between the effects of pressure
and magnetic field on spectrum lines. Humphreys considers that, in general, lines of large Zeeman
separation are strongly displaced by pressure, but admits that there is scanty material on which to
THEORY AND FORMER INVESTIGATIONS. 7
base this conclusion. The refusal of banded spectra, notably that of carbon, to show either Zeeman effect
or displacement has often been cited as probably resulting from a connection between the two phenom-
ena, and interesting developments on this point have recently been presented. Dufour (45) obtained
Zeeman separations for the component lines of the band spectra of the chlorides and fluorides of the
alkaline earths, the magnitude of separation being about the same as for line spectra. A short time
after, Rossi (46) selected three of these, the fluorides of calcium, strontium, and barium, and obtained
distinct pressure shifts for the bands, the shift being of the same order as for line spectra. Comparing
his results with those of Dufour, Rossi did not find any general relation between the magnitude of
the two effects. Numerous investigations on the Zeeman effect for banded spectra have been made
during the past two years, part of which are summarized by Dufour (47), but corresponding results
for pressure have not been obtained.
A detailed comparison of Zeeman separation and pressure displacement for the line spectra of iron
and titanium will be made in the present paper.
3. FORMER INVESTIGATIONS OF THE ZEEMAN EFFECT FOR IRON.
Passing to special investigations on the iron spectrum in which the magnetic separations for certain
lines have been described and measured, the first to be mentioned is that of Becquerel and Deslandres (9).
In this, 10 lines are given from \^&2i to X3&73, most of them of complex separation. Shortly after,
these writers used a stronger field and covered a larger region. This publication (10) gives no measure-
ments, being confined to a description of a few interesting types of lines.
A note by Ames, Earhart, and Reese (") speaks of the general characteristics of the iron lines between
\35oo and X 4400, with special mention of the type of separation for a few lines. Reese (n) gives measure-
ments of the separation for 23 of the stronger lines in this region, the source being a carbon spark with
iron as an impurity. Kent (13) continued the investigation with better equipment, measuring about 90
iron lines between X 3550 and X 4550. Special attention was paid to a number of complex lines. Reese
had observed that the lines on his plates could be classified as to amount of separation in about the same
way that they were classified as to pressure displacement. Kent, with more material available for com-
parison, found that this relation was not verified.
The paper by Zeeman (30) was concerned chiefly with the question of a dissymmetry of the side compo-
nents of triplets, as measured from the central line. Hartmann (48) investigated the structure of a num-
ber of iron lines with the echelon spectroscope. He did not, however, obtain as good resolution of com-
plex types as was given by the grating method in the present investigation. The most extensive set of
measurements thus far published on the iron spectrum is given in the thesis of Mrs. van Bilderbeek (49) .
These are from photographs made with a concave grating for a magnetic field of 32,040 gausses. Measure-
ments are given for 137 lines between X 2382 andX452g. Of these lines 55 (40 per cent) are to the violet
of the region covered by my photographs; the others are the stronger lines among those given in my
tables, and have been of great service in determining the field-strength. As will be noted later, there is
an excellent agreement between the two sets of measures for all lines whose components are sharp enough
to give measurements of high weight. Besides checking my standard field, the agreement between Mrs.
van Bilderbeek's field-value and that which I had obtained by other methods supports the contention
in her paper that the field-strengths published by Kent and by Hartmann are both low.
It will thus be seen that several investigations of special regions have been carried out for the iron
spectrum with regard to the Zeeman effect. The region covered, however, has not extended beyond
about X 4500, with the exception of a few lines in the green examined by Hartmann, leaving nearly three-
fourths of the range included in this paper as new territory. For the region from X37oo to X45oo, which
has been covered to some extent by others, the previous investigators have measured only the stronger
lines, the description of the character of separation is usually brief or lacking, and the complex separa-

tions are but incompletely considered. The range of spectrum covered previously has not been sufficient
to draw any conclusions regarding the variation of separation with wave-length, the comparison with
pressure effects and other changes of physical condition has not been carried out, and no application
has been made of Runge's rule for the commensurability of the distances between components. These
points will be handled in the present paper as fully as the material will permit.*
4. FORMER INVESTIGATIONS OF THE ZEEMAN EFFECT FOR TITANIUM.
A set of measurements was published by Purvis (50) for many of the stronger lines of titanium from
\28oo to XSOQO. The majority of these are in the ultra-violet, 86 lines being measured in the region
covered by my tables. Three violet triplets were measured by Reese (). A former paper by the author(s')
gave descriptions and measurements for 291 lines between \39oo and X66oo. These were made from
the first set of plates taken in this laboratory, the first and second orders of the i3-foot (4 m) spectro-
graph being used, with a field of 12,500 gausses. The data for the present paper were compiled from a
much more extensive set of plates, taken with higher dispersion and stronger field, the gain in all points
being so great that these measures may be taken as superseding the previous ones. A still earlier paper
by the author ( s) gave preliminary measures of some titanium and iron lines in a discussion of the charac-
ter of their separation in the laboratory as compared to that observed in sun-spot spectra.
* Note added January, 1912: A dissertation by Immina Maria Graftdijk on Magnelische Splilsing van ket Nikkei- en Kobalt-
Spectrum en van het Ijzer-Speclrum (Amsterdam, 1911) has just been received. Measurements are given for 38 of the stronger iron
lines between A 4300 and /". 6500 for a field of 32,040 gausses. The measured separations of triplet lines agree in general very closely
with those presented in this paper. The only notable discrepancies are for a few complex lines where a large difference in field
necessarily alters the appearance of the components which are measured.
APPARATUS AND METHODS,
i. SPARK APPARATUS.
The source of light used in all of the work was a spark discharge from a 5-kw transformer made
according to special design by the Peerless Electric Company, of Warren, Ohio. The coils of this trans-
former are immersed in the best moisture-free oil and contained in a cylindrical iron tank 83 cm in diameter
and 125 cm high. The primary and secondary leads are passed through the flat top of the transformer,
on which is a large knife switch for the regulation of the secondary voltage. The bar of this switch forms
the radius of a circle, one end being pivoted, while the other end fits into any one of a series of jaws along
the circumference of the circle. The connections with the transformer coils are such that the secondary
voltage may be 10, 20, 40, 80, 160, 320, or 640 times the impressed primary voltage, according to which
jaw the bar of the switch is fitted into. Thus with 100 volts on the primary the secondary voltage is
1,000, 2,000, 4,000, 8,000, 16,000, 32,000, or 64,000, according to the connection. The use of a rheostat
in the primary circuit to regulate the impressed voltage will obviously give any secondary potential
desired up to 64,000 volts. The adjustable rheostat used is one capable of carrying heavy currents con-
tinuously. It is composed of sheets of tin cut into strips i cm wide by cutting almost across the sheet
first from one side and then from the other. The sheets of strips thus made are mounted vertically against
strips of asbestos fastened to a wooden frame, the distance between successive sheets being sufficient
to provide air circulation for cooling. Copper wires soldered to the tin strips at the proper intervals
lead to knife switches on the top of the rheostat frame. Various combinations of these switches place
parts of the tin resistance in series or parallel, and permit the resistance to be reduced by short steps
until all is out. One switch may be connected to an external resistance, thus allowing the latter to be
connected in series with any part of the tin resistance for fine adjustment of the rheostat. A bank of
twenty-four 32-cp incandescent lamps in parallel is usually used in this branch.
The primary current is supplied at about 104 volts from one side of the three-phase connection of a
1 5-kw transformer. This transformer and one similar to it are mounted in the transformer room of the
laboratory, fed by 2200 volts from the lines of the Southern California Edison Company, and are used
together to supply the 2o8-volt three-phase current for the D.C. motor-generator set which furnishes
current to the electro-magnet.
Two glass-plate condensers were used for the spark circuit during the series of experiments. The
more efficient one, used in taking the later photographs, is built up of 16 sheets of plate glass, of area
61 X 66 cm, and thickness 5.5 to 6.0 mm, laid horizontally in a strong, copper-lined wooden tank.
Between the glass plates and at the top and bottom of the pile are sheets of copper, 17 in number, each
0.9 mm in thickness and with an area of 3330 sq cm, one side of each sheet having a tongue 2.5 cm long
projecting beyond the glass plates for the connection, while the plates immediately above and below are
cut away so as not to reduce the insulation at this point. Around the other three sides the copper is
cut so as to come 2.5 cm inside the edge of the glass plates. This arrangement, together with the form
in which the copper is cut on the fourth side where the tongues project, insures a distance of 5.7 cm
along the glass from the edge of one copper plate to the edge of the next. The condenser plates are sepa-
rated from the copper lining of the tank by a wood flooring 2.5 cm thick and held in place by a wooden
box inside the tank. A thick copper wire is soldered to each of the tongues coming from the copper plates
and the other end of the wire connected to a binding post set in a plate of fiber extending across the width
of the tank, 7.5 cm below the top. This fiber plate was at first placed level with the top, as shown in the
photograph of the laboratory (Plate I). This condenser is entirely immersed in the best transformer oil,
which fills the tank up to about 5 mm above the fiber plate, thus insulating the condenser plates and also

the binding posts, the screw tops of the latter projecting from the oil to receive the wires connecting them
in any desired combination to the discharge circuit, so that the whole or any part of the condenser may
be used. An adjustable spark-gap between the nearer binding posts on each side protects the condenser
against too long a spark in the circuit which might cause the glass to be punctured. Connecting wires
from the two central binding posts are inclosed in thick glass tubes which pass through a second fiber
plate directly above the first and level with the top of the tank to the high tension wires supported by
glass insulators and extending across the laboratory below the ceiling. A wooden cover fits into the top
of the tank and protects all parts of the condenser from dust. The leads from the transformer pass to
the overhead wires and other leads drop down to any piece of apparatus under the wires, so that the
heavy condenser can remain permanently in its place.
In addition to the condenser, the circuit from the transformer contains a self-induction spool and
spark gap in series with the spark under observation. Several self-induction coils are available, but the
one regularly used consists of 207 turns of insulated copper
wire wound on a wooden cylinder 132 cm long and 13 cm
in diameter. A sliding contact may be moved to any point
along the spool so as to include any desired portion of the
self-induction.
The terminals for the spark on which the magnetic
field acts require different handling according as the sub-
stance under examination is magnetic or not. In the
experiments with titanium, small pieces of the substance
known as "cast titanium," obtained from Eimer and
Amend of New York, were held in small brass clamps, the
vertical rods of which passed through larger horizontal
brass pieces set in a thick piece of fiber, through the
middle of which a brass rod passed and fitted into a
clamp, movable up and down on a support attached to
the base of the electro-magnet.
When iron terminals were used it was necessary that
they be held rigidly in place on account of the attraction
of the magnet. In all cases small cylinders of Norway
iron were screwed on the end of brass rods. The size of
the iron tips varied somewhat according to the kind of
spark desired and the width of the magnetic gap used.
Those most generally used with a strong field were 3.5 mm in diameter and about 10 mm long. In the
earlier work the iron-tipped brass rods were held in a hard-wood frame composed of two vertical rings
held apart by four horizontal pieces. The wooden rings fitted over the magnet core, against the face of
each coil, while the brass rods passed with some friction through two of the horizontal wood pieces at
opposite ends of the diameter of the rings. A better holder for iron terminals was devised later. This is
shown in Fig. i and is a modification of that used for non-magnetic substances, the parts being much
more rigid. The rod of 6 mm diameter to which the iron tip is screwed passes through a square brass
rod 16 mm in thickness, having a saw-cut from the hole out to the end. A screw at right angles to this
saw-cut, worked with a bar, serves to clamp the rod so firmly that the magnet does not move it. As
the column supporting the holder is screwed to the base of the magnet, all parts could be clamped so
firmly that the iron tips were held exactly in place.
The spark length for both iron and titanium was usually short on account of the proximity of the
magnet poles and the tendency of the spark to jump to these. With iron terminals, particles were given

off rapidly by the strong transformer discharge and it was necessary to clean these off every few minutes
and also to file off the oxide from the iron tip. Titanium terminals wore away rapidly, owing to disin-
tegration of the metal, and the oxide also needed to be removed frequently if the brightest discharge was
to be obtained. The short spark gap necessitated an auxiliary gap in series, as otherwise the discharge
was not sufficiently disruptive to avoid melting the terminals. This auxiliary gap was a simple affair
of brass mounted on fiber.
When using the spark, the various parts of the secondary circuit, as well as the step-up connection
and the current in the primary, were adjusted to give the sort of spark desired. In this investigation
self-induction has been used in the spark circuit somewhat sparingly, since on the majority of the photo-
graphs it was necessary to obtain the fainter lines of sufficient strength for accurate measurement. Self-
induction in the spark circuit sharpens the Zeeman components in about the same degree that it sharpens
the lines of the regular spark spectrum, but the brightness of the spark is greatly diminished at the same
time, an effect only partially due to the decrease in intensity of the enhanced lines. The weaker lines as
a whole, especially the faint and diffuse lines of iron, are so reduced by self-induction that very long
exposures are required to bring them out. A compromise must be made, since in exposures running
many hours, especially for more than one day, there is risk of instrumental disturbances. The method
followed was to use the spark with rather high self-induction for one or more photographs of any region
containing strong lines, and especially enhanced lines, for which moderate exposure time was sufficient,
then to use small self-induction for photographs in which as many of the weak lines as possible were
desired. The loss of sharpness in such cases was counteracted as far as possible by the use of a narrow
slit and by selecting the kind of plate and developer which would give the sharpest definition and at the
same time show the lines.
2. THE ELECTRO-MAGNET.
This apparatus is of the Du Bois half-ring type, made by Hartmann and Braun of Frankfort. It is
shown (in its present state, after being rewound) in the photograph of the laboratory (Plate I). The
coils, as used until recently, were each wound with 1250 turns of No. 9 wire (diameter =3.0 mm). They
are clamped to a horizontal iron base which completes the magnetic circuit. The magnetic gap is varied
by moving the coils upon this base, which is itself supported by three legs on an iron plate. A hole in
the center of this plate fits over a pivot in the middle of a round iron table, the ends of the plate resting
on a planed ring which forms the rim of the table. The magnet can thus be turned in any desired direc-
tion by rotating the base-plate upon the planed ring of the table. The magnet rests upon a cement pier
60 cm square and 82 cm high. The core of each magnet coil is pierced by a horizontal hole 17.5 mm in
diameter for the transmission of light along the lines of magnetic force. These holes are filled with cylin-
drical iron rods when such an axial opening is not needed.
A variety of pole-pieces was used for the magnet according to the way in which the spark terminals
were arranged and the directions in which the light was to be taken. Into each vertical face of the magnet
core is screwed the first section of the pole-piece, a truncated cone of soft iron 16.5 mm thick, whose
double angle is 1 1 2. The small end of this cone is a circular plane surface 39 mm in diameter. To this
circular face was fastened a pole tip of one of the following forms, each of which has a double angle equal
to that of the truncated cone just described.
(a) For the observation of the light from the iron spark parallel to the lines of force, the magnet
poles themselves were used as spark terminals in some of the earlier experiments. In this arrangement
the faces of the tips were circular, of 6 mm diameter. One pole was left solid and the other pierced with
a hole 3 mm in diameter, the spark being viewed through the tubular hole in the core. The pole-tips
were each insulated from the core by mica plates and held in place by fiber screws. The method gave
trouble, not only from the occasional breaking down of the insulation, but from the fact that the spark
did not stay in front of the hole in the pole-piece. It had the advantage, however, that the field was not
affected by the introduction of extra iron as spark terminals.
I 2 INFLUENCE OF A MAGNETIC FIELD UPON THE SPARK SPECTRA OF IRON AND TITANIUM.
(6) A stronger light from the spark was obtained for observation along the axis by not insulating the
pole-tips, using one solid and the other pierced as in (a), with the spark between iron tips at the ends
of brass rods held vertically between the magnet poles by means of a wooden frame or the brass and fiber
holder described on p. 10. Titanium terminals were held in the simple clamp described above. This
worked well for getting the "longitudinal effect" (w-component) without the introduction of a Nicol
prism in the optical system. Such an end-on arrangement is of course necessary for the study of the
circular polarization of Zeeman components. However, for general work in measuring the separation
of components, this method has the disadvantage that there is a considerable increase of field-intensity
close to the magnet poles, amounting with some gaps to 25 per cent, as well as an inequality at the two
poles resulting from one of them being pierced, so that the sharpness of the Zeeman components is not
all that could be wished.
(c) The most useful method, and that used (with varying shapes of the pole-tips) for almost all of
the best observations, was to set the magnet at right angles to the direction at which the light was
observed, use both pole-pieces solid, and separate the light by means of a Nicol prism over the slit into that
vibrating in a plane at right angles to the magnetic force-lines, or parallel to these. This arrangement
made it possible to photograph successively the Zeeman components given respectively by vibrations
perpendicular and parallel to the force-lines by turning the Nicol prism through 90, leaving the magnet
unchanged. Furthermore, by projecting the image so that only the h'ght from that part of the spark
midway between the magnet pole-pieces falls upon the slit of the spectrograph, the FIQ
change of field near the pole-pieces does not disturb the definition of the Zeeman com-
ponents. Even if the slit is long enough so that parts of the image come from regions
of different field-strength, the spectrograph, not being astigmatic, shows merely a
wider separation toward the ends of the components, the sharpness not being affected,
so' that accurate measurements may be made by selecting the narrowest portion of the
separation.
Three forms of magnet pole-tips were used with this arrangement. In the first,
the conical tips ended in circular faces 6 mm in diameter. This was used for most of
the work on iron and for the earlier work on titanium. With titanium, however, the
pieces of metal were irregular in shape and often rather large, so that with a short
magnetic gap it was difficult to bring the terminals close enough together to avoid sparking to the
magnet pole-pieces. The later and best set of titanium plates was taken with pole-pieces somewhat
chisel-shaped, made by milling out opposite sides of a conical tip of 12 mm face to a thickness of 1.5 mm.
The thin ends were then placed parallel to each other and in a line with the beam of light passing to the
slit. This gave a very uniform field for the light of the thick spark, part of the vapor of which might
otherwise have gotten into weak portions of the field. Probably the best design is a modification of that
just described, in which the chisel edge was left 3 mm in thickness and 12 mm long, and not so deeply
milled as before. This form of tip gave a very strong field and a gap of 6 mm could be used without diffi-
culty. The drawing in Fig. 2 shows this design, with which a number of the later iron spectra were taken.
A current of 10 to 12 amperes from a 1 2. s-kw generator was generally used for the magnet circuit.
15 amperes could be used for runs of two or three hours, but the magnet rapidly became heated. This
current was almost sufficient to saturate the core and a larger current gave but a small increase of field.
The heating of the core by long-continued runs, even at 10 amperes, was considerable in warm weather,
when the two electric fans used to blow the sparks, and which also played on the magnet, exerted little
cooling effect. Almost at the close of this investigation a very efficient means of cooling the core was
devised. Injuries to the insulation of the wire made it necessary to rewind both magnet coils. When
the cores were laid bare, a spiral of soft copper tubing of 6 mm outside diameter and 4 mm bore was
wound around each core next to the iron. Strips of "sooo-volt linen" were wound over the spiral as
APPARATUS AND METHODS.
insulating material, the face-plates at the ends of the coil being protected by ebonite sheets, and 1300
turns of wire were wound on each coil, the extra 100 turns on the two coils more than compensating for
the magnetic leakage caused by introducing the copper spiral.
With a stream of water flowing through the spiral, the core remains
perfectly cool and a current of 14 amperes may be used without
serious heating of the wire. This improvement has given an
increase of field of about 25 per cent over what could previously
be used for long runs with the same magnetic gap.
The current is controlled by means of two Ruhstrat sliding
resistances in parallel and is read to o.i ampere by a Weston
millivoltmeter with shunt used as an ammeter.
3. THE SPECTROGRAPH.
The spectrograph which was used in this investigation was
described briefly in the general account of the Pasadena labora-
tory published in 1908 (53). It is of the Littrow or autocollimating
type, placed vertically in a well 30 feet (9.1 m) deep. The design
of this spectrograph was worked out during the early solar inves-
tigations on Mount Wilson and the first instrument in the obser-
vatory equipment was made by Wilh'am Gaertner of Chicago, and
has been in use for over three years as a part of the 6o-foot tower
telescope on Mount Wilson. A description was published in
Contributions from the Mount Wilson Solar Observatory (54) . When
the physical laboratory in Pasadena was equipped in 1908, an
exact duplicate of the mountain spectrograph was obtained from
Gaertner, with the addition of holders for lens and plane grating
to give a focal length of 13 feet (4 m) when desired, as well as
the full focal length of 30 feet (9.1 m).
The details of the mounting of the spectrograph can be seen
from the drawing in Fig. 3 and from the photograph of the upper
end (Plate II). The well is made water-proof with a h'ning of
brick, several layers of tarred building paper, and cement plaster,
the dimensions being 30 feet (9.1 m) below the floor of the labora-
tory and 8.5 feet (2.6 m) in diameter. Since the well was thor-
oughly dried out, no moisture has appeared to come through the
walls. The cover of the well is of reinforced concrete, with two
openings. A circular opening at the east side is inclosed by a
cement ring 70 cm high and no cm outside diameter, which
supports the metal top of the spectrograph. Entrance to the
well is provided for by an opening at the south side closed by a
wooden cover, from which a vertical iron ladder leads to the
bottom. Attached to the iron ladder is a stout wood platform, at
such height that the parts of the spectrograph for the 13 feet
(4 m) focus can be conveniently adjusted.
The spectrograph consists essentially of a skeleton steel frame
50 cm square, at the top of which is a circular cast-iron plate on which is the slit and holder for the
photographic plate, while below, the objectives and gratings are supported in the steel frame at the
14 INFLUENCE OF A MAGNETIC FIELD UPON THE SPARK SPECTRA OF IRON AND TITANIUM.
proper levels for the focal lengths desired. The weight of the frame is supported by a concrete pier
placed at the bottom of the well. This pier carries an iron plate with a spherical cavity, into which
fits a lubricated hemisphere on the lower end of the spectrograph frame. The iron plate at the upper
end of the instrument fits loosely inside a circular iron casting imbedded in the concrete ring already
described. The whole spectrograph turns easily about a vertical axis by means of a gear and pinion in
the outer casting. A simple clamping device holds the instrument against accidental turning when in use.
The slit of the spectrograph, 51 mm long, is placed on the end of a brass tube sliding within another
tube attached to the iron top. The divided head regulating the width of slit is graduated to read 0.025 mm -
For strong light sources, a slit width of 0.075 mm was regularly used. When the 30-foot arrangement
is in use, the light passes from the slit to an 8-inch (20.3 cm) visually corrected objective by Brashear,
which lies horizontally in a holder capable of being moved vertically for focusing by turning a rod pass-
ing to the top of the spectrograph and rotated by a hand-wheel. A metal box to hold a plane grating
is just below the lens. A rod, geared to the grating box and passing above to a second wheel at the
top of the instrument, permits the rotation of the grating about a horizontal axis to obtain the order
or region of spectrum desired. Scales which show the position of the lens and the inclination of the grat-
ing can be read by a small telescope at the top of the instrument when illuminated by incandescent
lamps turned on from above. The light reflected by the grating passes again through the lens and the
spectrum is brought to a focus above, the middle of the photographic plate lying in the same plane as
the slit. The holder carrying the plate rests in an iron frame supported at its center so that by tilting
the plate-holder good focus can usually be obtained over the whole of the plate, which is 17 inches (43 cm)
long and 3.62 inches (9.2 cm) wide. The plate-holder can also be moved parallel to itself by means
of a rack and pinion to permit the photographing of successive spectra. Two shutters, sliding horizon-
tally, are placed 7.5 mm below the plate and can be adjusted to shut out all light except the strip of
spectrum, the width of which is regulated by the.length of slit used. Light reflected from the lens sur-
faces would reach the plate were it not for these shutters and for the fact that a narrow bar is laid across
the center of the lens so as to cut off the reflected rays which would enter through the opening of the
shutters. With the 30-foot focal length, a slight inclination of the objective removed the reflections
without appreciably affecting the definition.
The arrangement of lens and grating to give the spectrograph a focal length of 13 feet (4 m) follows
the plan of that for the longer focus. The movements of lens and grating are regulated by the same
rods which control those below. The grating-holder may be moved over to the side of the steel frame
and the lens-holder swung back out of the way when the 30-foot arrangement is desired.
The two plane gratings used during the investigation were a Rowland grating 12.5 cm long and 9 cm
wide, having 568 lines to the millimeter and a Michelson grating 19 cm long by 7.2 cm wide, having 500
lines per mm. The former was used with the i3-foot arrangement for the majority of the plates. The
Michelson grating was obtained near the end of the investigation and a number of the later plates were
taken with this, which was adjusted for the 3o-foot focus. While longer exposure must be used with the
longer focus, the large scale is very desirable and the field is much flatter, so that as a rule the whole
length of spectrum over a 1 7-inch (43 cm) plate can be obtained in fair focus, even in the first order.
For very weak light-sources, however, the 13-foot arrangement often gives better results, as there may
be unavoidable changes in either the source or the spectrograph if the exposure is greatly prolonged.
The scales of the photographs for the two focal lengths and the several orders used in this work are
approximately as shown in the small table on the following page, there being a variation in the second
decimal place according to the part of the spectrum observed.
Other important features of the spectrograph are the occulting plate of the slit, the mirror support,
and the polarizing apparatus. Plate II shows the form of the occulting plate. It is of brass, dull silver-
plated, and supported on four pins screwed into the top of the spectrograph, so that it is entirely free

from the slit, and about 2 mm above the latter. By moving the V-shaped opening a, by means of the
rack and pinion, any length of slit up to n mm may be obtained. A further movement brings the
double opening b, whose size may be adjusted by the sliding plate c, over the slit. By a proper setting
of the scale d, a double comparison spectrum can thus be placed outside that made with the opening a
without risk of instrumental displacement, since the plate-holder and all essential parts of the spectro-
graph are left untouched.
Plate II shows the arrangement of the mirror by which the light coming horizontally from any piece
of apparatus in the laboratory is reflected to the slit of the spectrograph. The holder for the mirror, which
is of plate glass 12.5 cm in diameter, silvered on its front surface, can be turned about a horizontal axis,
and is supported at the lower end of a brass cylinder. This cylinder
can either rotate or move up and down inside a stationary cylinder held
in position by three curved iron supports which are screwed to the top
of the spectrograph. The mirror may thus be placed in any position
necessary to direct the beam into the instrument. As the mirror can be
turned in any direction independently of the spectrograph, we may have
any desired orientation of the slit with respect to the light source, which
is usually out of the question with a spectrograph mounted horizontally.
This is a very great advantage in an instrument free from astigmatism.
For the Zeeman photographs the slit was regularly used parallel to the lines of force of the magnet.
In photographing arc and spark spectra in general, it is desirable to use the slit sometimes parallel,
sometimes perpendicular to the direction of discharge in the image projected upon it.
The Nicol prism, by which the light polarized in one plane is transmitted to the slit, is held on a metal
platform 3.5 cm above the slit. The Nicol prism which has been used thus far was loaned by Director
Stratton of the National Bureau of Standards. The diagonals of the face are 25 and 30 mm and the prism
is 6.5 cm long. It is held in a brass cylinder having a graduated circle by which the Nicol can be set at any
desired angle to the plane of polarization of the incident light. A second platform can be placed above
the Nicol to hold a Fresnel rhomb when this is desired for the study of circular polarization.
Since the beam passing through the Nicol is displaced parallel to itself, when the prism is rotated 90
to transmit the other Zeeman component the image does not remain on the slit. The image is then brought
back by moving the focusing lens, a simple glass lens of 58.4 cm focal length and 10 cm diameter. After
such a change, it was always noted whether the grating was well centered in the beam of light, which
usually had at least three times the diameter of the spectrograph objective. Although small movements
of a focusing lens of the focal length used produce very slight changes in the direction of the beam to the
grating, still care was taken never to move the lens when an instrumental displacement of the spectrum
lines could have any disturbing effect. After an exposure with the magnetic field, the only change before
starting the exposure for the spark without field was to move the occulting plate above the slit, so that
the comparison spectrum would be on each side of the spectrum taken with the field. The light source
thus remained unchanged in position, and all parts of the optical system as well as the photographic
plate were left untouched.
The spectrograph remains in adjustment for longer periods probably than with any mounting other
than the vertical arrangement in a well. The temperature change at the bottom of the well is entirely
negligible during short periods of time. A recent test showed that during three months in which tem-
perature variations of over 15 C were experienced in the laboratory, a thermometer placed beside the
grating rose very gradually from i86 to i9o C. During this time the lights were frequently turned
on to read the adjustment scales, and there were occasional visits by observers to the bottom of the well.
Mechanical vibrations are more disturbing. It has been necessary to close the driveway beside the
laboratory during exposures with the spectrograph, and to take care that no machinery be used which
would transmit a vibration to the spectrograph mounting.

4. PHOTOGRAPHIC METHODS.
The requirements as to photographic plates in an investigation of this sort are to some extent con-
flicting. Speed, a fairly fine grain, good latitude, so that weak lines may be obtained without serious
over-exposure of the stronger ones, together with enough contrast to give sharply defined lines, are ele-
ments not easily combined in one plate. A number of plates have been tried, including the Lumiere
"Sigma," the Seed "Gilt Edge 27," "23," and "Process," the Cramer "Crown" and "Inst. Isochro-
matic." Each kind of plate will give superior effects for a certain type of line; but in general I have
obtained the best results for the work from the Seed "Gilt Edge 27" for the blue end of the spectrum as
far as about \46oo, and from there on into the red from the same plate bathed with the solution of pina-
cyanol, pinaverdol, and homocol recommended by Wallace (55). This plate is the best adapted of those
I have tried in regard to doing justice to all classes of lines. It is a fast plate without an objectionably
coarse grain. The latitude is good. In the case of lines of complex Zeeman separation, a plate with more
contrast will often fail to show weak components very close to stronger ones.
A properly chosen developer will sharpen the lines to a great extent, avoiding troublesome shad-
ing off from the central maximum. After trying several solutions, I have preferred a hydroquinone
developer giving strong contrast, due to Mr. Wallace, but not published so far as I know. The propor-
tions are as follows, using equal parts of A and B :
Solution A: Solution B:
Water. ... 48 oz. Water 48 oz.
Hydroquinone 640 grains Carbonate soda (anhydrous) I oz.
Sulphite soda (anhydrous) i oz. Carbonate potassium (anhydrous) 4 oz.
Sulphuric acid (cone.) 30 drops Bromide potassium % oz.
This developer does not stain the plates, even when warm. Development was usually carried to the
point where chemical fog sets in. This comes on slowly, and the solution is as efficient in bringing up
weak images as any I have tried. When used at 20 C a bathed plate is usually fully developed in 6 to
7 minutes. Some very good photographs were obtained for the region \52oo to \55oo by the use of the
Cramer "Inst. Isochromatic"; but it was found best to soften its contrast by the use of a metol-hydro-
quinone developer. For the region \48oo to ASIOO, where the "Isochromatic" is weak, as well as for
the whole of the orange and red, the action of the bathed "27" has been unsurpassed by any plate used
in these experiments.
5. MEASUREMENT OF MAGNETIC FIELD.
The accurate measurement of field-strength presented some difficulties in the case of iron on account
of the use of metallic terminals for the spark. The field for titanium was more easily obtained, and was
based on direct measurements by a bismuth spiral. This instrument was obtained from Hartmann and
Braun, but instead of using the regular formula for temperature correction, the spiral was sent to the
National Bureau of Standards and there calibrated to provide a series of curves for the variation of field-
strength with change of resistance for temperatures of 15, 20, 25, 30, and 35 C. When used at inter-
mediate temperatures the interpolation was simple. The resistance in and out of the field was measured
with a Kohlrausch bridge.
A set of plates of the titanium spectrum, extending over the whole region investigated, was taken
with the magnetic field as nearly the same as possible. All parts of the magnet were left unchanged
and the same current was used throughout. By check measurements with the bismuth spiral and by
comparison of plates which overlapped enough to measure some of the same lines on both, it appeared
that a field-strength of 17,500 gausses was maintained for this set with a variation no greater than 200
gausses. Other photographs taken to supplement the measurement of certain regions had their values
reduced to correspond to a field-strength of 17,500 by comparison of the separations of sharply defined lines.
For the iron spectrum it is well known that indirect methods must be used to determine the field-
strength, since the use of iron spark terminals distorts the field to such an extent that any object as large
APPARATUS AND METHODS. I 7
as the bismuth spiral or an exploring coil for the ballistic method will not give true values for the field
to which the spark vapor is subjected. It may be that the iron vapor, when sufficiently dense, has an
appreciable permeability of its own. There is, however, no evidence on this point.
The plates for the iron spectrum were taken at intervals extending over a year, during which various
changes were made in the experimental arrangements which involved changes in the magnetic field.
However, a considerable region in the blue and violet was photographed with the same field, and the pub-
lication of Mrs. van Bilderbeek (49) gave an opportunity to make a comparison with her values. In her
work some photographs were taken using a spark with one iron and one zinc terminal, thus obtaining the
zinc triplet X 4680.3 17, as well as some iron lines in that region. Weiss and Cotton (20) by a series of very
careful measurements obtained the relation AX/HX 2 = 1.875 x IO 4 f r the separation of the outer compo-
nents of this triplet, from which Mrs. van Bilderbeek deduced the value 32,040 gausses for the standard
field which she used when iron terminals alone were employed. I was able to select from my list 33 lines
between the limits X37oo and X44OO, which are also given in Mrs. van Bilderbeek's table, in nearly all
cases clear triplets, for which my measurements are of high weight. The ratio between Mrs. van Bilder-
beek's values and mine for these lines was in every case very close to 2, the greatest deviation being given
by the value 2.14. The mean ratio for the lines is 2.01, giving a value of 15,940 gausses for the field used
by me in photographing the iron spectrum. This is in very satisfactory agreement with a value which
I had already determined by photographing the strong line X 4383. 7 20 as given by a spark between car-
bon terminals on which a little iron solution was placed in a field measured by the bismuth spiral as
17,600, and comparing the separation with that of the components of the same line very sharply
photographed with iron terminals used in the standard field. Exactly the same value was given by com-
paring the separation of X 4383. 7 20 in two photographs, one with iron poles, the other in which the line
came up as an impurity in a titanium photograph taken with the standard titanium field of 17,500.
Assuming that the value of the field for iron was established by the other measurements, this last test
gave an excellent check on the standard field for titanium, which would otherwise depend on the meas-
urement with the bismuth spiral. It would seem then that the value of 16,000 gausses can be safely
taken for the standard iron field with an error less than i per cent. A considerable number of photo-
graphs for both iron and titanium were made with fields close to 20,000 gausses, sometimes slightly
higher, but the measurements were reduced to correspond to fields of 16,000 and 17,500, respectively.
A similar system of checking field-strengths was applied for the region to the red of X44oo. A spark
was used with one terminal of iron and the other of brass. Two photographs were taken in which the
zinc triplet X 4680.3 1 7 appeared as well as a number of iron lines, among them the wide and sharp
triplet X4878.407. Using the value of Weiss and Cotton, the field-strength for the measured separation
of this iron line (20,360 gausses for AX= 1.389 A) was deduced. Spark terminals of the same kind with
all parts of the magnet unchanged were then used for a series of photographs covering the iron spec-
trum as far as X67oo. The field was thus kept as nearly constant as possible, and by comparing the
separations of iron lines with this known field with those on former plates taken with various fields it was
possible to reduce all values for the iron spectrum to the standard field of 16,000.
6. METHODS OF MEASUREMENT AND REDUCTION.
The measurement of the earlier plates was carried out by Miss Wickham, while the later plates were
measured by Miss Griffin. The machine used was a small Gaertner comparator having a range of 8 cm,
the divided head reading to o.ooi mm. The process of measurement included the identification of lines,
the determination of the reduction factor for the portion of the plate under examination and the measure-
ment of the separation of the Zeeman components.
Various tables were used in the identification of lines. For the iron spectrum the tables of Kayser
and Runge (56) for the iron arc were supplemented by those of Exner and Haschek (57) for the spark,
1 8 INFLUENCE OF A MAGNETIC FIELD UPON THE SPARK SPECTRA OF IRON AND TITANIUM.
also by the list of enhanced lines given by Lockyer (58) and by plates of the arc and spark spectra of iron
taken in this laboratory. For the titanium spectrum the tables and charts of Hasselberg (59) were use-
ful as far as X 5900. This was supplemented for the red end by the measures of arc lines by Fiebig (60) .
The spark tables of Exner and Haschek and of Lockyer were used as for iron. The identifications of
solar lines in Rowland's Tables are in most cases so close to the values in the tables of arc and spark
spectra that there is no doubt of the correspondence of the lines. The wave-lengths given in this
publication are entirely on the Rowland system.
The chart of the iron arc spectrum by Buisson and Fabry (61) was of great assistance in the approxi-
mate identification of lines, the scale being almost the same as that of my plates taken in the third order
with the i3-foot focal length. In addition to using this chart for the iron spectrum, it served also for
titanium when used in conjunction with a set of plates which I made of the spectra of the titanium spark
and iron arc side by side.
The definitive identification of lines was in the usual way by measurement from neighboring lines
whose identity was certain. On account of the incompleteness of the general tables of spectra for the
red region, a few lines are entered in my titanium table which may belong to other substances. Some
of these, in all probability, are lines given stronger in the spark than in the arc, which explains their
absence from Fiebig's list. The doubtful origin of such lines is indicated in the column headed "Remarks."
The spectrum given by the plane grating spectrograph not being quite normal, the reduction factor
of the plate, expressed in Angstrom units per millimeter, was determined at intervals usually of 2 to 3 cm.
The change in the factor between successive determinations was thus almost always less than 5 in the
third decimal place. This factor was multiplied by the distance in millimeters between the Zeeman
components, which was the mean of at least four differential measurements taken alternately right and
left, setting first on one, then on the other of the components whose separation was desired. The accu-
racy of setting on first-class lines was usually well within 0.005 mm - From such lines there are all grada-
tions up to those for which the measurements recorded can be taken only as indicating the order of mag-
nitude of the separation. Frequently a line has its components on one side blended with those of an
adjacent line. In such a case it is usually possible to make a more or less accurate measurement of half
the separation by measuring from the clear component to the no-field line which was always photo-
graphed in juxtaposition. The accuracy of measurement will be discussed further in the explanation
of the tables when the weight of measurements is considered.
After measurement by a member of the Computing Division each plate was carefully gone over by
the author. In this examination the identification of lines was checked, the character of the separation
and weight of the measurement as determined by the quality of the line were decided upon, and many
check measurements with the machine were made, including all measures for determination of the mag-
netic field by a comparison of the separation of lines on different plates.
EXPLANATION OF THE TABLES,
i. WAVE-LENGTHS.
The wave-lengths given in the first column are on the Rowland system. The methods of identifi-
cation and the tables used have been treated in the preceding section.
2. INTENSITY.
This column is intended to give an approximate value of the intensity of the lines in the spark spec-
trum. The numbers are taken (with occasional modifications) from the tables of Exner and Haschek
for the spark spectrum as far as X47oo, beyond which the intensities were estimated on the same scale
from my plates. Weak lines are graded " i " on this scale, but there is considerable variation in the strength
of lines which are given this value. For the purposes of this paper, this grading of intensities is sufficient.
3. CHARACTER OF SEPARATION.
In this column is described the type of separation of each line when the n- and ^-components* are
combined, as is the case when the light of the spark is observed at right angles to the magnetic force-
lines without Nicol or other apparatus to separate the light vibrating in the two directions. Thus in
the reproductions the two portions of each spectrum showing the effect of the magnetic field should be
superposed to give the appearance of the line as described in this column.
The description gives the best judgment of the type of separation that can be made from the photo-
graphs. It must be considered in connection with the measured separation and widening of components
given in the columns for AX of the n- and ^-components, and is usually made clear by these. Frequently
a supplementary remark is needed in the case of complex lines.
A line designated as triple has its one p- and two w-components of sufficient sharpness to give no indi-
cation that any of them are compound. Since the Zeeman components follow to some extent the general
character of the spectrum line, when a line is itself wide and diffuse, its components may be simple and
still not so sharp as those of lines which do not tend to diffuseness. The proximity of the no-field line on
the plate aids in the judgment of such cases, but some of them are uncertain at the best. The tendency
of some lines to reverse is very disturbing in this connection, since it is very difficult to obtain such lines
with really sharp components. Several iron lines between \37oo and \39OO, which give wide reversals
in the arc and spark between iron terminals, can be made to show the Zeeman components also reversed,
by the use of a strongly condensed spark, so that a triplet appears as a sextuplet. To decide such cases
it was necessary to make special photographs, using much self-induction and also with carbon terminals
containing a little iron. The titanium photographs were also useful in this connection, since the titanium
used contained enough iron to give the stronger iron lines which appear with sharp components under
such conditions.
The interrogation point is very freely used to indicate that the line is probably of the character given,
though not clearly shown to be so on the plates. The reason for doubt is usually given in the columns
for AX. Thus "triple?" means that the /^-component is slightly widened so that it may not be simple,
but still the widening may be explained by the strength of the component or by the fact that the line
* n and p are used throughout this paper as abbreviations of "normal" and "parallel." n denotes the Zeeman components
given by light vibrations in a plane at right angles to the lines of magnetic force, and p those given by vibrations parallel to the force-
lines. The symbols correspond to the letters s and p regularly used in German publications.
19

itself is slightly diffuse, which may account for the lack of sharpness in the components. "Quadruple?"
means that the two w-components are fairly sharp, but the /(-component is probably double. A doubtful
quintuplet will usually have five components measurable, with indications that others are possibly present.
Doubtful sextuplets are very common. As a rule such a line has its two w-components widened so that
there are probably two pairs, while the /(-component is either distinctly double, or unresolved and con-
siderably widened. The decision between doubtful sextuplets and septuplets is frequently difficult and
often quite uncertain. The /(-component in such cases is not resolved, but the character of its widening
will often show whether it is double or triple. A widening with strong central maximum means usually
three /(-components, but there may be five. Such a line, if it has two widened w-components, is classed
as a probable septuplet. Octuplets and lines of higher separation are classified in a similar way, the widen-
ing given in the two AX columns, together with the remarks, showing in what respect the given char-
acter may be doubtful. Lines whose w-components are " fringed ' ' are difficult to classify. Such ' ' fringes ' '
indicate very close, unresolved components, and these may be numerous. A field double that available
here would probably show the full structure. Many lines were fully resolved by a field of 20,000 which
had to be described as "fringed" for a field of 16,000. The degree of widening due to the fringes is given
in the AX column and a remark tells whether the fringes are toward the center or outwards. The number
of components is estimated as closely as possible from the width of the fringes, but when the structure
is very complex, an interrogation point is used without any attempt to give the number of components.
Although the doubtful elements which have been mentioned come into the estimates as to the char-
acter of lines, the large number of plates from which the material was taken gave an opportunity to study
each line under various conditions of intensity and degree of separation, so that the classification as to
character is probably as accurate as can be made without very much greater field-strength combined
with as high resolving power as was here used.
4. WEIGHT.
Under this heading, each line for which measurement was possible is given the weight 3, 2, or i,
according as the quality of the Zeeman components for measurement is good, fair, or poor. This grading
should be of much service in any use which is made of these tables. In attempts which the author has
made to compare his measurements with those of others, the discordances were nearly always found to
occur in the case of lines of such character that one or both sets of measurements were poor. If lines
of high weight in each set are compared, a good check on the observations is obtained.
Lines of weight 3 have sharply defined components, and for such lines measurements of the same
plate by different observers or different sets by the same observer usually give differences in the third
decimal place only, while for many lines of this class the probable error is not greater than two or three
thousandths of an Angstrom. Only lines of weight 3 should be used in comparisons of field-strength.
Lines are weighted 2, when the line is reasonably strong, because the components are widened and
probably compound, fringed, or perhaps single and poorly defined for some reason, so that the measure-
ment is not so close as for lines weighted 3. Measurements of weight 2 have usually a probable error
not greater than 10 per cent and may be used for quantitative comparisons where a high degree of pre-
cision is not required. When a component is measured from the no-field line, it is never weighted higher
than 2. A line whose components are uniformly widened, each consisting of two or more components
of about equal intensity, gives a better measurement than a line whose components are fringed, since
in the latter case photographic conditions affect the distinctness of the maximum of each shaded com-
ponent, this maximum being the part measured.
Weight i is given to lines which are very faint, much disturbed by blends, or of such complex struc-
ture that the components are extremely diffuse. The error of measurement for such lines may be large
and the three decimal places are entered only for the sake of uniformity. However, the figures given
EXPLANATION OF THE TABLES. 2 I
show whether the line is to be classed as having small, medium, or large separation, and for this reason
the inclusion of such lines is justified.
When measurements are given for both the n- and the ^-components, the weight for each is given,
separated by a comma. In case only the p-component is measured, a dash before the comma indicates
the omission of the weight for the w-component.
5. VALUES OF AX.
The fifth and sixth columns of the tables contain the separation in Angstrom units of the components
given by light vibrating respectively perpendicular and parallel to the lines of magnetic force. (See
foot-note, p. 19.) When there is an even number of components for the same polarization, measurements
are made between the members of each pair which presents itself. A single value in one of these columns
means that one pair of components is present. When there are two or more pairs, the largest separa-
tion is given first, but the innermost pair is designated "Pair I." When there is an odd number of com-
ponents, any outer ones that may appear are measured from the central component, instead of being
treated as pairs, and the values are listed beginning with the outermost on the violet side, the presence
of a central component being indicated by o.ooo. No attempt is made to give the relative intensity of
the n- and ^-components, as this depends largely upon the optical system. However, if there are more
than two components for the same polarization, the relative intensity of the pairs (or of each component
when there is an odd number) is given in parentheses after the value of the separation.
If either AX column is blank for a certain line, this indicates that a single, sharp component appears
for this polarization. Thus for all clear triplets, the ^-component column is blank. If, however, the
^-component is unresolved, but widened so as to indicate that a higher field would separate it into two
or more, the letter "w" with subscript i, 2, or 3 is used to show the degree of widening. Components
marked "w 2 " or "w 3 " as a rule are certainly compound. A slight widening, which probably means more
than one component, is indicated by "w u " but this may in some cases result from the diffuse character
of the no-field line.
There are many cases, especially in the w-component column, where a measurement is given, followed
by "w" with a subscript. This means that a pair is measured, but each member of the pair is widened and
probably compound. If the widening is uniform, there are probably two or more components of equal
intensity. If the constituents of the widened component are of different intensity the component is
shaded toward one side. Such a line has the degree of widening given and in addition is denoted in
the "Remarks" column as "fringed" when each component shades off from the center, or as having
"inner fringes" when the shading is toward the center.
The letters "n.m." indicate that a separation exists but is not measurable, usually by reason of the
faintness of the components. In such cases it is possible, as a rule, to tell the character of the separation
with fair certainty and the line is included on this account. Thus a faint but sharp ^-component com-
bined with traces of two sharp w-components is given as a triplet. The designation "n.m.w." is used
when the components are hazy as well as faint.
6. VALUES OF AX/X 2 .
Since in most points relating to the theory of the Zeeman phenomenon, the values of AX/X 2 rather
than of AX are considered (p. 4), the former quantity is entered in the seventh and eighth columns,
the positions of the numbers in the column being the same as that of the corresponding values of AX.
When X is in Angstrom units, the values given for AX/X 2 are to be multiplied by icr 8 .

a I-components, equally spaced. The outer w-components
are usually the stronger and the central one quite weak, so that when the three />-components, if the
central one is the stronger, are superposed, as when the light is viewed across the lines of force without a
Nicol, the effect is to show five components of about equal intensity. Examples of such lines are
XX 3743. 508, 3788.046, 5497.735, of iron, and 4281.530, 4527.490, 4544.864, of titanium. The last two
were given as septuple ts in my former paper (51) on account of the weakness of the central -com-
ponent. Another arrangement is presented by the titanium line X43o8.o8i which has three pairs of
^-components and two ^-components.
8. NONETS.
Good examples of lines having nine components are found in XX 3840.580, 4233.772 of iron, and 4471 .408
4489.262, 4629.521 of titanium. These have each three pairs of w-components, the innermost pair being
strongest, and three /'-components. The type is probably rather common in both spectra, since many
lines classed as doubtful septuplets may have a weak outer pair of ^-components, making a total of nine.
9. MORE COMPLEX TYPES.
Lines having ten components are represented by XX44I7-884, 4471.017, and 5025.027 of titanium.
These are made up in each case of three pairs of n- and two pairs of ^-components. Eleven components
are shown by X 3888.671 of iron, which has a central w-component in addition to the pairs of the ten-
component type. Several good examples of twelve-component lines are given byXX3722-729, 3872.639,
5447.130 of iron and 4289.237 of titanium. These are all of similar structure, having four pairs of
w-components, the two inner pairs having the same separation as the two pairs of ^-components. While
twelve is the highest number of components which is measurable on my plates, the iron lines XX 4005. 408
and 4132.235 are given as probably having thirteen components each. Five ^-components are almost
resolved in each case and the wide inner fringes for the -components are estimated to consist of four
pairs. Many of the lines whose type is questioned without attempt to estimate the number of compo-
nents have probably as many as the most complex of those measured, and some of them possibly more.
Good examples of almost all of these types of separation are present among the violet iron lines shown
in Plate III, which has the advantage of showing the n- and ^-components both separate and in combi-
nation, the latter spectrum being taken at right angles to the force-lines without the use of a Nicol prism.
Polarization by the grating reduced the intensity of the ^-component for this region of the spectrum,
as is shown by the relative weakness of the central component of triplets in the spectra lettered b, for
which the Nicol prism was not used.
RELATION OF SEPARATIONS TO THE NORMAL INTERVAL,
i. SUMMARIES FOR VARIOUS TYPES.
The study of how generally the separations observed show a simple relation to the fundamental
interval, the theory of which was summarized on p. 4, has been gone into in some detail. The relation
e H
a=
m 4TW
gives a value for a of 0.753 f r H = 16,000, and of 0.812 for H= 17,500, if e/m be taken equal to 1.75 X io 7 .
The "normal triplets" for iron and titanium, with the standard field-strengths used in this work, should
accordingly show values of AX/X 2 for the distance between the side components of about 1.500 and 1.600
respectively.
In the following summaries an attempt has been made to show to what extent the separations for
various classes of lines may be considered as multiples of the interval a. In Table 4 the clear triplets
for iron and titanium are thus classified, those triplets given in Tables i and 2 as doubtful not being
included. The allowable deviation for any line from the exact multiple was estimated as closely as pos-
sible according to the weight of the measurement, knowing the probable error for each weight. Lines
not falling into any class are placed in the "Odd" column. In the case of titanium a large proportion
of such lines appeared to be definite odd multiples of a/4, while the regular classes consider only multiples
of a/2. As in all of the following work relating to the interval a, greater field strength is desirable, as the
accuracy of the classification increases with the numerical value of a; but Table 4 shows in a general way
how the magnitudes of the separations may be grouped.

2. DISCUSSION OF RELATIONS TO NORMAL INTERVAL.
It is shown in Table 4 that for iron two-thirds and for titanium over one-half of the clear triplets
are separated by the intervals 2a, 50/2 and 30. For both elements, however, a very large majority have
separations of this order of magnitude, since almost all of the lines classified as "odd" give intervals
within this range, the numbers corresponding to 7*1/4 and 90/4 of weights i and 2 being given for titanium
in the "Remarks" column. A more precise classification, in which smaller fractional parts of a can be
used, must await an investigation with greater field-strength, which will also decide the structure of
most of the doubtful triplets, the separation of which is not included in any of these summaries.
Table 5 shows how generally the separations of those lines showing two n- and two /'-components
can be expressed in terms of the interval a, also the wide variety of separations which prevails. The ratios
of 2 : i and 3 : i predominate for both elements. As has been previously noted, the /'-components almost
always show the narrower separation.

50 INFLUENCE OF A MAGNETIC FIELD UPON THE SPARK SPECTRA OF IRON AND TITANIUM.
The ease with which the separations of the complex lines both in iron and titanium can be expressed
in terms of a affords a confirmation of Runge's law, since failure to give approximation to exact multiples
of a appears to occur only in the case of measurements of small weight. It has been necessary only in
a very few cases to use multiples of any quantity smaller than a/4, so that errors of measurement are
seldom large enough to influence the ratios found. This question will become of more importance when
very close components are resolved by a stronger field.
The presence of "magnetic duplicates," lines exactly similar in structure, with the same intervals
between components, furnishes a means of selecting lines which may be connected by series relations.
Such duplicates occur for almost every type of separation. Six quintuplets of iron and two of titanium
show the same structure and intervals. These are XX 3 733 .469, 3760.679, 3814.671, 3865.674, 5455.834,
5603.186 of iron and 4291.114, 5720.666 of titanium. Several types of sextuplets appear. The red lines
of ironXX62i3-644 and 6337.048 are duplicates, also the titanium lines XX3982.I42, 4798.169, and 5491.985.
Duplicate septuplets of iron areXX4i9i.s85 and 5079.921. The only titanium septuplet fully resolved,
X 4298.828, has the same structure. The four iron octuplets are of the same appearance but have dif-
ferent spacing, XX3743-5o8 and 3788.046 being alike, as are probably also XX4859-928 and 5497.735,
though the former was not fully measurable. The blue octuplets of titanium XX452749O and 4544.864
are also duplicates. The iron nine-component lines XX 3 748. 408 and 3840.580 are alike, and X 5405. 989
has probably the same intervals. Another spacing is shown by the titanium duplicates XX 447 1 .408 and
4489.262. The lines of iron which probably have ten components are not fully resolved, while the three
titanium lines show diverse arrangements. Perhaps the finest examples of spacing in multiples of a are
the twelve-component lines XX3722.729, 3872.639, 5447.130 of iron, which are exact duplicates, while
X4289-237 of titanium is in all respects similar.
POSSIBLE RELATIONS BETWEEN LINES AS INDICATED BY THE ZEEMAN EFFECT.
It is hoped that the measurements presented in this paper, especially the summary of complex sepa-
rations given on pp. 48 and 49, may eventually aid in finding definite relations among the lines of these
spectra. At present, nothing conclusive along this line is to be offered. Numerous cases of magnetic
duplicates have been shown to exist in both spectra. Such lines, especially if they are in the same part
of the spectrum, are often affected in the same way as to change of intensity in various light sources
and show a similar magnitude of displacement by pressure. The same vibrating particle probably pro-
duces them.
The differences in wave-number (i/X) have been formed for the various pairs of magnetic duplicates.
Only one case was found where two pairs of magnetic duplicates have the same difference of wave-number.
The iron octuplets XX 3 743. 508 and 3788.046 have exactly the same difference in wave-number (314) as
the sextuplets XX63I3.644 and 6337.048. No case was found where two pairs of magnetic duplicates
of the same type have the same difference, though this was tried wherever promising, both between known
duplicates and as a means of finding new pairs. The differences between duplicates were found to vary
greatly for each element and to bear no simple relation to one another; so that as yet no clue has been
found which will serve in building up series relations.

CASES OF DISSYMMETRY.
There are but few striking examples of dissymmetry in the iron and titanium spectra, either in spacing
of the components or in the intensities of the violet and red components. However, fourteen lines show-
ing distinct dissymmetry may be listed as shown herewith:
The nature of the dissymmetry is covered in each case in the
"Remarks" column. Several triplets show either the red or the violet
component decidedly stronger. Quintuplets are likely to show irregular
spacing or intensity, or both, as in the cases of XX 37 18.554, 3760.679 and
5455.834, of iron. The last line has its central w-component moved dis-
tinctly to the red from the position of the no-field line (see Plate IV).
The titanium septuplet X 4298.828 shows three /(-components, the interval
between the central and violet components being about two-thirds that
between the central and red. This line appears on Plate V. Several of the other lines are of complex
type and highly unsymmetrical.
The plates taken in this investigation are for the most part not suitable for the detection of a differ-
ence in the spacing from the central line of the violet and red component of triplets, since a Nicol was
almost always used to separate the n- and ^-components. However, two of the best plates in the set
were taken without a Nicol for the iron spectrum in the blue and violet regions and include most of the
lines mentioned by Zeeman (30) as showing a difference in the intensity or in the spacing of the violet and
red components. These plates were taken with a field-strength of 19,500 gausses. A set of measure-
ments was made for the sharpest triplets occurring in this region to test the question of a difference in
the spacing of the violet and red components from the central line. The method was to make settings
successively on the violet, central, and red components, and then repeat in the inverse direction, con-
tinuing until four sets of readings were obtained from which the mean distance to each side component
was computed. The measurements given in Table 6 are the mean of two independent sets taken in this
way, which in general agreed closely. Thus each value of AX is the mean of eight determinations of the
interval in question. The values of AX are not reduced to the standard field. Differences in favor of the
violet interval are +, those in favor of the red interval .

52 INFLUENCE OF A MAGNETIC FIELD UPON THE SPARK SPECTRA OF IRON AND TITANIUM.
These measurements are intended only as a preliminary test of the reality of the difference in triplet
spacings. The evidence, however, points strongly to the existence of a true difference for many, if not
all triplets. Only 3 out of 26 lines fail to show a larger interval for the violet component. Although the
settings on a component seldom show a range greater than 0.004 A, which would indicate a very small
probable error in the mean of 8 determinations, it is likely that the actual probable error of the indi-
vidual differences shown in Table 6 may amount to 0.003 or 0-004 A as a result of systematic errors in
the settings due to the character of the lines. The mean of all the differences is + 0.006 A, with a calcu-
lated probable error of o.ooi A, which can scarcely leave any doubt as to the reality of the difference.
The measurements show that the magnitude of the difference can hardly be the same for all of the
lines. The true probable error will then be somewhat smaller than that given above, which would only
make the evidence for the reality of the dissymmetry predicted by Voigt the stronger. The lines from
X 3930.450 toward the violet, 17 in number, are with one exception either normal triplets or have the separ-
ation 30, usually the latter. Of the 9 lines showing a difference greater than 0.008 A, 3 are normal trip-
lets and 4 have a separation of 30. The question of dissymmetry seems worthy of investigation through
a long range of field-strengths for these lines, especially to test the generality of the change of spacing
with the square of the field-strength observed for one of the lines in the mercury spectrum (see p. 5).
An element which might sometimes affect the spacing of Zeeman components is the apparent differ-
ence in the wave-lengths of arc and spark lines. The spark is made more disruptive by the magnetic
field, and a greater disruptiveness seems in general to cause the lines of the spark to be moved slightly
toward the red as compared with their positions in the arc spectrum. The reality of this effect is still
a disputed question, but evidence published by a number of observers, as well as some photographs of
the arc and spark which I have taken for this portion of the iron spectrum, indicate that measurements
taken in the regular way will give a slightly greater wave-length for the spark lines, the difference being
greatest for a very disruptive spark. If this effect has a part in the Zeeman phenomenon, we should
expect all components of the triplet to be displaced alike. The greater strength of the middle component,
however, would probably make the effect more perceptible for this, as the apparent displacement is more
or less combined with unsymmetrical widening and is usually more distinct for strong lines. However,
in the photographs from which the measurements of Table 6 were taken, triplets to the violet of X 4000
show the middle component only about as strong as either side component on account of the polariza-
tion given by the angle of the grating used, so that the conditions of the spark discharge would not seem
to be adequate to explain the difference in spacing, unless the direction of vibration of the electrons,
parallel or perpendicular to the lines of force, affects their susceptibility to the displacing action of the
spark discharge. On this point we have no evidence.
The other point of dissymmetry predicted by Voigt, a greater strength for the red component of the
triplet, is quite perceptible for many lines, especially in the iron spectrum. The difference is rarely greater
than 10 per cent., and, to be clearly detected, the two components must be distinct but not of full density,
since blackness of the components in the negative destroys so slight a difference. On account of this
necessity for just the right degree of exposure, it is difficult to say how general the phenomenon is, but it
is certainly present for many lines.
LAW OF CHANGE OF THE AVERAGE SEPARATION OF THE ^-COMPONENTS
WITH THE WAVE-LENGTH.
A glance through Tables i and 2 shows that for both iron and titanium the tendency is for the values
of AX gradually to increase as we pass to greater wave-lengths, while the values of AX/X 2 remain of about
the same magnitude throughout. A statistical study of this apparent constancy of the averages AX/X 2
has been made; and both the range of wave-length and the number of lines available are sufficient to
show clearly how the matter stands.
The method of treatment has been to obtain the mean value of AX/X 2 for the w-components for each
500 A from X37oo to X67oo. When there are two or more pairs of w-components the mean of the separa-
tions is taken. This is necessary for the sake of consistency if any lines other than clear triplets or quad-
ruplets are to be considered, since the measurement of the widened -components given by a great many
lines is merely the mean separation of two or more unresolved pairs.
The averages thus obtained are presented in Table 7. The means for the six groups of 500 A are
given first, then the means for the three groups of 1000 A. These latter are the means for the whole
number of lines considered in the range, not the averages of the means for the 5oo-groups. Of course,
no account can be taken in this summary of the considerable number of lines which are described, but
whose w-components are not measurable.

The close agreement of the means shows that there is a real relation, giving an approximate constancy
of the values of AX/X 2 for different parts of the spectrum. Taking the successive means of the 5oo-groups,
the average value for iron is 2.013, f r titanium 1.858. The largest deviation from the mean for any
group is 8.7 per cent for iron and 9.4 per cent for titanium. For neither element is there any systematic
change in the means for successive groups.
The means for the groups of 1000 A show a still closer agreement, the largest deviation from the mean
of these groups being only 1.2 per cent for iron and 6.8 per cent for titanium.
It will be noticed that the mean values for titanium run smaller than those for iron, although the
titanium measurements correspond to the larger field-strength. A number of spectra will have to be
examined in this way and the measurements reduced to the same field-strength before we can say what
significance, if any, there is in this point. It may prove to be connected with certain properties of the
elements concerned.
It is not difficult to see that this constancy of the mean value of AX/X 2 depends on the general relation
of this quotient to the fundamental interval a, and that it results from the fact that the great majority

of the separations for the w-components range from the values of 2a to 30 and that the various values
of the multiples of the interval are more or less uniformly distributed throughout the spectrum. This
was shown for the triplets (p. 47), the greater number of which show a separation greater than 20. The
exceptional large and small values for triplets, together with the mean separations of the complex lines,
combine to form a fairly definite mean which holds for the whole range of spectrum examined.
Since AX/X 2 is shown to be very nearly constant, it may be said that for the spectra of iron and titanium, and
probably for spectra in general, the mean separation of the n-components varies as the square of the wave-length.
A similar rule must hold for the ^-components, since it was shown (pp. 48-49) that complex lines of
the same structure in different parts of the spectrum show the same relation to the interval a.
It is of interest to note that a computation along the lines of that carried out here, but different in
method and with comparatively little material at disposal, was made by Mr. Hale (38) in his comparison
of sun-spot doublets with the Zeeman separations on some preliminary plates made by the author. The
mean AX for a number of iron lines in the blue was divided by the square of the mean wave-length for
the region considered. Measurements for lines extending from the green into the red were treated simi-
larly. The quotients of the mean AX by the square of the mean X for the two regions agreed exactly.
While this result does not have the same significance as the comparison of the mean values of AX/X 2 , it
is clearly based on the same relation for the rate of increase of AX with X.
THE EFFECT OF THE MAGNETIC FIELD UPON ENHANCED LINES.
In my former paper (51) on the titanium spectrum, the behavior of the enhanced lines was examined
to see if, as a class, they were affected by the magnetic field differently from the non-enhanced lines.
The various types of separation were found to occur in about the same proportion for the enhanced lines
as for the spectrum in general. The same conclusion was arrived at by Mr. Babcock (62) for the enhanced
lines of chromium and of vanadium.
Table 8 gives the numbers of enhanced and non-enhanced lines considered both as to type and magni-
tude of separation. Here, as in Table 3, a given type includes both the clear and the questioned cases for
that type occurring in Tables i and 2.

The enhanced lines of each element are found to present a diversity of types. The enhanced and
non-enhanced triplets are in about the same ratio as the total number of enhanced and non-enhanced
lines, both for iron and titanium, this ratio being about i : 14 for iron and about 1:5 for titanium. Those
types for which the number is sufficient to give the comparison some weight are in the same ratios. There
seems to be no undue proportion of any one type among the enhanced lines, considered as a whole.
EFFECT OF THE MAGNETIC FIELD UPON ENHANCED LINES.

Since the triplets appear to be representative, and as their magnitudes of separation can be handled
most readily, Table 9 is arranged to compare the values of AX/X 2 for enhanced and non-enhanced triplets.
Triplets whose separation was not measurable are omitted, as are some non-enhanced triplets of very
large separation, larger than is shown by any enhanced lines.

On account of the small number of enhanced lines of iron, Table 9 serves to bring out little more than
the distribution of the values of AX/X 2 . More enhanced lines are available for titanium, and in the study
of these, two points are noteworthy: the absence of very small separations, and the disproportionately
large number of enhanced triplets giving values from 1.4 to 1.8. This range includes the normal triplet
at about 1.6, and the table shows that the separations of over half of the lines in question are close to
this value. This is due in part to a condition which appears to be the only respect in which the enhanced
lines are in a class by themselves as regards the Zeeman phenomenon. In the region from 3600 to 460x3,
which is rich in enhanced line's for titanium, the strongest enhanced lines were selected, 22 in number.
These are lines showing a high degree of enhancement in the spark and are as a rule much stronger in
the spark than any of the lines characteristic of the arc. A short exposure with a strongly condensed
spark would show these lines almost alone. Of these 22 lines 17 are clear triplets; the remaining 5, with
one exception, the weakest in the list, are of more complex character, These lines, with their intensity on
the scale here used, their type of separation, and the values of AX/X 2 for the triplets, are given in Table 10.

The values of AX/X 2 for the lines in Table 10 do not appear to be as closely related to the interval a
as is usual among a like number of triplets taken at random. The measurements are usually of high
weight, the photographs being made with self-induction in the spark circuit, and still there is a total
lack of 'normal triplets, the values of AX/X 2 being scattered rather uniformly from 1.3 to 2.1. The most
we can conclude is that for titanium the strongest enhanced lines tend toward the triplet type, but not
toward the simplest intervals of separation. When we extend the comparison to the weaker enhanced
lines, many of which are of considerable strength in the arc, a large variety of types appears, with none
predominating.
COMPARISON OF THE RESULTS FOR THE ZEEMAN EFFECT AND FOR PRESSURE
DISPLACEMENT.
A summary of the theories on the possible connection between magnetic separation and pressure
displacement is given on pp. 5-7. The data now at hand permit a considerable extension of the compari-
son made in my former paper (4). This is mainly in two directions. First, photographs of titanium arc
spectra under pressure made in this laboratory by Mr. H. G. Gale have materially added to pressure
measurements for this substance. Although this material has not yet been published by Mr. Gale, he
has kindly permitted me to use his values in this comparison. Second, spectra given by the electric
furnace under pressure have recently been obtained by me, and the preliminary results (63) bear on one
of the questions involved in the present discussion.
In Tables n and 12 the values of the magnetic separations in the second column are taken directly
from Tables i and 2 respectively. These values of AX are for the w-components, the mean being taken
when there are two or more pairs. Numerous changes have been made as compared to the former paper
on this subject, due to better photographs being available.
The measurements of pressure displacements expressed in Angstrom units are taken from the publi-
cations of Humphreys (416) and of Duffield (64) for the iron spectrum. For titanium, some measurements
are given by Humphreys, but most of the pressure values are from the photographs of Gale. The meas-
urements by Humphreys in the third column are for a pressure of 42 atmospheres, his other measurements,
for 69 and 101 atmospheres, being for only a part of the lines. For the iron spectrum, the displacements
of Duffield for 41 atmospheres are given in the fourth column. For titanium, the measurements of Gale
taken for 9 atmospheres total pressure were multiplied by 4.7 to bring them to the same order as those
of Humphreys, assuming a direct proportion between displacement and pressure. Occasionally a line
was not obtained by these observers for the given pressures, in which case an approximate value was
deduced from the measurement for some other pressure and is accompanied by an interrogation point.

COMPARISON OF RESULTS FOR ZEEMAN EFFECT AND FOR PRESSURE DISPLACEMENT.
59
The fifth and sixth columns contain ratios of Zeeman separation to pressure displacement, the one
numerical, the other of letters denoting the order of magnitude. In the numerical ratios for iron the
values of Humphreys are used for the sake of uniformity, those of Duffield for an almost equal pressure
being taken when a line was not measured by the former. In the case of titanium the values of Gale
are the more numerous and are used in the ratios when possible. The letters S, M and L in the sixth
column stand for small, medium and large values, respectively, of separation and displacement. The
limits covered by these classes are as follows:

The reasons for this classification are given later.
The question as to whether there is a close proportionality between magnetic separation and pressure
shift is decided in a definite manner by the sixth column in Tables n and 12, giving the numerical
ratio of separation to displacement. The separations for each spectrum are taken for a constant field
and the displacements for a constant pressure. The probable errors in measurement can explain only
in a very small degree the larger differences in these ratios. For iron the ratio-values run from 0.72 to
14.36, for titanium from 1.05 to 22.42. The distribution between these limits is such that any range
which might reasonably be assumed as due to poor measurements covers but a fraction of the lines.
Thus in Table n, ratios ranging from 2.00 to 5.00 take in 90 out of 173 lines, or 52 per cent; the same
range for titanium includes 67 out of 122 lines, or 55 per cent. The range from 3.00 to 5.0x3 in the two
spectra covers 35 and 34 per cent respectively.
The lack of constancy in the ratio being apparent, the question arises as to whether there is any real
connection between separation and displacement. A broad classification of the values in order of magni-
tude may be of service in this connection. For this purpose the separation and displacement values are
classified as small, medium and large, the range for each class being given above. The ratios showing
the comparative magnitudes of separation and displacement for each line are given in the sixth col-
umn of the tables. The displacement measures for titanium run in general larger than for iron, so that
a higher point of division between the medium and large classes is chosen. The following summary of
the data will show to what extent a general agreement exists between the Zeeman and pressure phenomena.
The ratios of classes from Tables n and 12 enable us to form Table 13, in which the 173 iron and 122
titanium lines are placed in three main groups. Group i consists of the ratios S : S, M : M, L: L, and
shows that the separation and displacement for the corresponding lines are relatively of the same order.
Group 2 contains those lines for which separation and displacement are not in the same, but in adjacent,
classes; while for Group 3 the separation and displacement are of very different magnitude, one small
and the other large. Those lines which show no Zeeman effect, but distinct pressure displacement, are also
in Group 3, the letter O being associated with S, M, or L according to the magnitude of the displacement.
It will be seen that 44 per cent of the iron lines are in good agreement as to order of magnitude,
44 per cent show a probable discordance, while 12 per cent strongly contradict the hypothesis of
equality of relative magnitude. Titanium shows a somewhat larger proportion of its lines in poor agree-
ment as to separation and displacement. This indicates clearly that the two phenomena are not very
closely related as regards size of one increasing with size of the other. The large number of lines in Group
2 renders any positive conclusion difficult on account of the possible influence of errors of measurement.

INFLUENCE OF A MAGNETIC FIELD UPON THE SPARK SPECTRA OF IRON AND TITANIUM.
Trials with other limits for the small, medium and large classes have shown that the group percentages
are not materially altered, as this results in a transfer back and forth of lines near the limits chosen. An
attempt to reduce Group 2 was made by taking all those lines which had one or both values so near the
limit of the class that the error of measurement, if in the favorable direction, might have put the two
values into the same class and so have brought the line into Group i . Lines of complex Zeeman separa-
tion were also treated in this way; 35 iron lines were thus selected, which when added to Group i as given
in Table 13 raised its total to 64 per cent of the whole. This number, then, may be in fair agreement as
to order of magnitude, while the remaining 36 per cent are divergent beyond the errors of measurement
and in some distances widely different. This last device is of course not a fair treatment of the data,
since the error of measurement is as likely to move the values wider apart as closer together, and if the
same treatment had been applied to the lines of Group i, some of them would have moved into Group 2.
However, giving the agreement hypothesis the benefit of the doubt, the proportions of 64 and 36 per
cent appear to be the most favorable that can be gotten out of the list of iron lines.

In Group 3 we have those lines for which either separation or displacement is small and the other
large, and in addition 4 lines of iron and 2 of titanium which appear to be unaffected by the magnetic
field, while they show a variety of displacements, in some cases large. These offer examples of ability to
respond to one displacing agency and not to the other.
A closer quantitative comparison is afforded by taking the average separations and displacements for
large groups of lines. This is done in Tables 14 and 15. The method in forming Table 14 was to make
a list of all pressure displacements classified as small, place opposite them the Zeeman separations for
the same lines, and take the mean of each list for comparison of the magnitude of the two effects. Means
were formed in the same way for lines of medium and large displacement. The ratios of mean separa-
tion to mean displacement can then be compared. In obtaining the results for each class, means were
formed for the lines in three groups according to wave-length. The whole table thus gives a comparison
of the means for the several groups, and also an indication as to how the means for both separation and
displacement change with the wave-length.
Table 15 was made in the same way as Table 14, except that here the class of Zeeman separation,
small, medium, or large, was taken as the basis, and the corresponding pressure displacements used for
a comparison of means.

INFLUENCE OF A MAGNETIC FIELD UPON THE SPARK SPECTRA OF IRON AND TITANIUM.
In Table 14 the ratios of classes given by the weighted means for the three magnitudes of displace-
ment are M : S, M : M, and L : L for both iron and titanium. Table 15 gives for the three magnitudes
of separation the ratios S : M, M : M, L : L, for both elements. There is thus good agreement as to magni-
tudes except for the first class in each table. A large proportion of the lines for this class come from
the region below X4ooo and there is a sufficient scattering of high values for both separation and displace-
ment to put the means into different classes when formed in this way. The behavior of the ratios of
weighted means in the two tables is interesting. Those in Table 15 decrease very nearly in the ratio
3 : 2 : i for the three classes in the iron table, and about 9 : 4 : 2 for titanium, showing that the displace-
ments increase in size much faster than the separations. The same material is used in Table 15, but here we
find an approximate constancy for iron and a gradual increase for titanium. It is probable that the
change as shown in Table 14 is a real one and that it is obscured in Table 15 by the large difference in
range of values of separations and displacements. The limits of this range are in the ratio of about i to
3 for the separations (omitting a few extreme values) and about i to 10 for the displacements. Thus,
in Table 14, when the displacements are grouped so as to increase in magnitude, there is a much smaller
variation among corresponding values of separation than we have among the displacement values when
the separations are graded as in Table 15. The widely divergent values of displacement scattered through
Table 15 would thus act to make the ratios of means more or less discordant.
A classification by Duffield (640) may be used in comparing the displacements measured by him with
the corresponding Zeeman separations for iron. He forms three main groups according to amount of
displacement. Table 16 gives the mean separation and displacement for each of these groups, at first
singly, then combined so as to form two groups with more lines in each.

We see that separation and displacement are of the same order of magnitude throughout. In the
last two lines the larger number of values gives means of higher weight. These means show as before
that a much larger range is covered by the displacements than by the separations.
Two additional points are to be considered in this comparison. The first is the rate of increase of
the two effects with magnetic field and pressure, respectively. Duffield found that the displacements of
lines belonging to the three groups treated in Table 16 have very different rates of increase with increase
of pressure, the lines of Group III showing the most rapid change. A corresponding phenomenon in the
Zeeman effect would mean a different rate of increase of separation with field-strength for different lines.
We are not certain that this does not exist, since the proportionality of separation to field-strength has
been established by careful measurement for only a very few lines, but no evidence of a difference for
different sets of lines has thus far been presented.
The second point is the relation of the variation of separation and displacement with the wave-length.
In Tables 14 and 15 the division into regions of wave-lengths shows the distribution of magnitudes in
these regions. Following down the columns headed "No. of Lines" in each table, we see that the propor-
tion of small values for both separation and displacement is greater in the region of short wave-lengths.
COMPARISON OF RESULTS FOR ZEEMAN EFFECT AND FOR PRESSURE DISPLACEMENT. 63
For the medium and large values in each table, the proportion of lines increases in the region of greater
wave-length, this being very decided for the "large" group. Thus there is a clear increase in magnitude
of both separation and displacement as the wave-length increases. The lines here compared seem to be
representative of the spectrum, as the same relation holds in the complete Zeeman tables, which contain
a much larger number of lines for this range of wave-length.
When pressure measurements of high accuracy are available for an extended region of wave-length,
the rate of variation with the wave-length will appear, and the closeness of agreement with the relation
found for iron and titanium, namely, that the magnetic separation increases proportionally with the
square of the wave-length (p. 54), will afford strong evidence concerning the common physical basis
of the two phenomena. An attempt at a comparison of this sort has been made by the author in a recent
paper (63) on the effect of pressure upon electric-furnace spectra. The displacements of iron lines given
by the electric furnace for a pressure of 9 atmospheres were measured for two regions 1000 A apart, from
\4O5o 10X4450 and from X5O5O to \545o. The list for the latter region did not include as many of the
weaker lines, whose displacements are often large, as was available for the blue region, so that a compari-
son of the means of all displacements would not have been fair. It seemed best to limit this preliminary
comparison to those lines in each region which show the same general behavior in various light sources.
In the furnace they appear at low temperatures and show reversal with strong widening under pressure.
They are lines which, although not connected by series relations, show such similarity in their response
to the excitations of furnace, arc, and spark that the vibrating particles which produce them can be
assumed to have many points of similarity.
Fifteen lines of this character in the blue region were compared with nine similar lines in the green.
The mean pressure displacement for the two sets was found to be almost identical, being 0.058 A for the
blue and 0.060 A for the green lines. The magnetic separations of the same lines, taken from Table i,
give mean values of 0.330 A and 0.520 A, respectively, for the blue and green regions, an increase of 60
per cent for a difference of wave-length of about 1000 A. The evidence from these selected lines is, there-
fore, against a close connection between the magnetic and pressure phenomena. Measurements for the
arc under pressure, however, show a more frequent occurrence of large displacements as we pass toward
greater wave-lengths, and more complete measurements will show the rate of change.
Summarizing the comparison here presented, it may be said that there is a fair agreement between
magnitude of magnetic separation and pressure displacement for the lines of iron and titanium when the
means of large groups are considered. The number and character of the lines not in agreement, however,
show that the correspondence is not close enough to justify preferring any one of the theories for the
pressure effect on this ground, or to predict the effect upon a given line of one influence from that observed
for the other. The degree of concordance which we have could perhaps result entirely from the fact
that the magnitude of each effect increases with the wave-length. This does not prove a close physical
relation, since any theory of the pressure effect that might be offered would probably involve a change
with the wave-length. A comparison of the rates of change of the two effects appears to be a more prom-
ising line of investigation than an extension of the method followed for iron and titanium; as the number
of lines treated for those spectra is sufficient to show clearly the degree of correspondence.
SUMMARY OF RESULTS.
The leading features in this investigation may be summarized as follows:
1. The effect of a magnetic field upon the spark spectra of iron and titanium has been studied for a
total number of 1120 lines between the limits \366o and X 6743. The character of the magnetic separa-
tion is given, with weighted measurements as complete as was permitted by the magnetic fields available.
2. The types of resolution, ranging from lines unaffected by the magnetic field to those having thirteen
and possibly more components, have been classified and the important features of each class have been
discussed.
3. The relation of the measured separations to the "normal interval"
e H
a= -
m 4irv
has been studied for all types of resolution. A large majority of the separations of triplets and quadru-
plets show a close relation to this interval, while the generality with which the more complex types show
the spacing of their components to be simply related to this interval indicates a full confirmation of
Runge's law.
4. Many cases of "magnetic duplicates," i.e., lines exactly similar in resolution, with the same inter-
vals between components, have been found among the more complex types, indicating close similarity
in the light vibrations which give rise to these lines. Large groups of lines showing triplet separation
are similar in this respect.
5. The large range of wave-length covered has made it possible to observe the rate of increase of
magnetic separation with the wave-length. This increase is such that the mean value of AX/X 2 for suc-
cessive intervals throughout this range shows a close approach to constancy for both iron and titanium,
with no systematic variation. The conclusion is that for these spectra the mean separation of Zeeman
components varies as the square of the wave-length.
6. Cases of unsymmetrical separation of Zeeman components, so distinct as to be classed as abnormal,
have been pointed out. The theory of Voigt concerning a slight dissymmetry in the intensity and spacing
of the components of triplets has been tested for a number of iron lines, with the result that this effect
appears to be real in many cases, although some lines fail to show such a difference.
7. The enhanced lines of the two elements have been compared with those showing no enhancement
in the spark, both as to type and magnitude of separation. The only difference between the behavior
of the two classes in the magnetic field appears to be that among the stronger enhanced lines of titanium
the triplet type strongly predominates, the separations usually being of medium amount and not closely
related to the interval a.
8. On account of a possible similarity between the actions of the magnetic field and of pressure around
the light source as displacing agencies, a detailed comparison has been made of the magnetic separations
and corresponding pressure displacements for these spectra. It was proved that a close correspondence
does not exist, but there is a general agreement as to magnitude of the two effects when the means for
large numbers of lines are considered.
In conclusion, I wish to acknowledge my great obligations to Mr. Hale for his unfailing support and
interest in the equipment and development of the physical laboratory and for much advice as to the
conduct of the investigations. A great deal of credit is due also to Miss Wickham and to Miss Griffin
for ^their careful and often difficult work in the measurement and reduction of the photographs. The
large number of spectrograms required to do justice to the iron spectrum, in particular, increased the
work of measurement out of proportion to the total number of lines treated.
