Abstract

The reversal of the sodium line may be demonstrated without the use of a slit or a spectroscope. An incandescent lamp having either a carbon or tungsten filament is placed immediately behind a good sodium flame and viewed from a distance of fifteen or twenty inches through a diffraction grating. The first- and second- order spectra, right and left, will both be in view and in the orange-yellow region of each will appear a sharp dark-line image of the filament of the lamp. This image constitutes the dark-line spectrum of the sodium vapor.
