Abstract
Radiation from hydrogen atoms in excited states produced by the beam-foil method was studied as a function of time using a vacuum ultraviolet monochromator. Measured values of the mean lives of the $2p$ and $3p$ levels in hydrogen are presented and compared with theory. The effects of cascades from levels of higher $n$ were observed and have been included in the mean-life calculations.
