Abstract

A Raman irradiation apparatus designed for gaseous samples has been built. It is of simple construction, using aluminum foil wrapped around a single mercury arc and Raman tube to concentrate the light. The fundamentals of both O₂ and N₂ in a sample of air at eight atmospheres were photographed in an exposure of $1\frac{1}{2}$ hours. Spectra of gaseous fluoroform and ammonia are presented.
