Abstract

The present paper offers an interpretation of certain diffuse bands observed in the spectra of metal vapors mixed with rare gases. Two separate maxima on the short wave-length side of the resonance line of the metal are not due to vibrational quanta as in the case of other similar diffuse spectra. Instead they are interpreted as separate electronic levels of the pair of colliding atoms described by space quantization taking place in the mutual approach. The diffuse structure on the long wave-length side is due to vibrational quanta of molecules.
