The Absorption Spectrum of Acetone Vapor in the Far Ultraviolet

摘要

The absorption spectrum of acetone has been photographed down to 850A. Discrete bands were found above 1300A but only continuous absorption between 1300 and 850A. The bands are described and a qualitative interpretation is given of the complete spectrum. One Rydberg series was found, converging to an ionization potential of 10.20 volts.
