Abstract
The intensity of light transversely scattered by pure oxygen, carbondioxide and their mixtures in various proportions for pressures ranging from 20 to 120 atmospheres at 32\ifmmode^\circ\else\textdegree\fi{}C, has been measured in terms of the scattering by liquid ethyl alcohol. Some polarization measurements have also been made for pure oxygen and unsaturated carbon-dioxide. The intensity for pure oxygen is proportional to the pressure, whereas for mixtures of increasing percentage of carbon-dioxide, the intensity-pressure curves tend to become more and more similar to the curve for pure carbon-dioxide for which the intensity increases much more rapidly than the pressure. At pressures greater than a few atmospheres, the intensity of scattering ceases to be a linear function of the percentage volume of C${\mathrm{O}}_{2}$ in the mixture.
