This change expressed as the heat so transformed per imit change of pressure will be called \"latent heat of pressure variation.\" For most liquids under usual conditions of temperature and pressure this quantity, which depends on the thermal expansivity, is small compared with the other quantities of heat which are usually observed, but for liquid ammonia in the range —40 to +40° C and corresponding saturated vapor pressures it is sufficiently large to be taken into account in calorimetric determinations of specific heat; and, in consequence, the measurements here described were made as a supj^lement to a series of such determinations in order to correlate measurements of specific heat of liquid ammonia ^ made at constant pressure with others made under saturation conditions.","PeriodicalId":227231,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of the Bureau of Standards","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1918-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125109630","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, it requires preliminary calibration, and its accuracy is limited by the accuracy of the calibration, even though the precision of reading be considerably greater. This interferometer and its uses have been described in detail by Haber and Lowe, 1 L. Stuckert, L,. H. Adams, 3 and others. This type of gas interferometer measures the difference in refractivity of two samples of gas contained in two gas chambers which, in the laboratory type of apparatus, are ioo cm long. Light from an illuminated slit passes through both chambers, after which the two beams combine to produce interference fringes which are observed through an eyepiece. The optical path of the two beams can be brought to equality by tilting a glass compensator plate which is placed in the path of one of the beams. If the temperature, pressure, or composition of the gas in one of the chambers is changed, the optical paths are","PeriodicalId":227231,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of the Bureau of Standards","volume":"77 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1918-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115156658","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Franck and Hertz ^ have shown that when the velocity of the electrons is less than that attained in falling through 4.9 volts there is no loss of energy at impact with a mercury atom. After falling through a difference in potential of 4.9 volts, however, the electrons are capable of transferring all of their kinetic energy to the mercury atom. The energy absorbed by the atom under these conditions is emitted as radiant energy of the single wave length, X = 2536.72A. It was at first thought that this radiation of light was the result of a recombination with the atom of an electron which had been removed from it by the energy of impact.
