Abstract
To prove the electron-atom bremsstrahlung origin of visible continuum radiation in rare gas medium-pressure glow discharges some new experiments and theoretical considerations were carried out. Arguments for the bremsstrahlung theory are supported by experimental results for (i) the behaviour of the radiation in ArHg mixtures; (ii) the spectral distribution in the visible and near UV range (Ne, Ar, Xe); (iii) the change of intensity during the transition from the diffuse to the constricted mode of the positive column (Ne) and (iv) the behaviour of the radiation in the Faraday dark space (He). Together with some other facts a foundation of the bremsstrahlung theory is given.
