Absorption spectrum of atomic iodine (I I) in the 1040 – 1600 Å region

Abstract

The absorption spectrum of atomic iodine (I I) has been photographed in the region 1040 – 1600 Å on a 3-metre normal incidence spectrograph. The atomic vapors of iodine were produced by the flash pyrolysis technique using CdI2 and PbI2 powder salts. The Garton flash lamp was used as the background continuum. Out of the sixteen series reported, starting from the 5s2 5p52P03/2 level, six limited on 5p43P2, six on 5p43P1, three on 5p43P0, and one on 5p41D2 of I II. The earlier analyses have been confirmed and extended. Sixty-two additional lines have been classified in the I I spectrum
