Abstract
BY means of wave mechanics, Schrödinger (Ann. d. Phys., 4, 80, 437; 1926) has made quantitative calculations of the intensities of Stark components in hydrogen which are commonly considered to be an improvement on the earlier estimates based on the correspondence principle (H. A. Kramers, D.K.D. Vidensk. Selsk., 8, 3, 287; 1919). That this is so in the case of Hβ was shown recently by the writers in a quantitative experimental investigation (NATURE, Oct. 23, 1926).
