Further, the fact that the same results are obtainedunder such very different conditions (metallic cadmiumvapour in a vacuum as against sodic carbonate in a blowpipeflame) would seem to furnish additional evidence against thereversal hypothesis. The light from sodium in a vacuum-tube lias a somewhatcomplicated and variable structure, but in one experiment,the result of which is given in fig. 5, the visibility curve Fig. (envelope) is relatively simple, and the correspondingintensity curves (fig. 6) show results almost identical withPhil Mag.
