The values of V areandN(2N + 3)/(2N + 1)(N + 1)(N + 1)(2N - l)/tf(2N + 1)for the transitions N, N+l and N, N-l respectively, where the magnetic dipole moment is2 Bohr magnetons [2: equation 7-6 in which the direction of the arrows indicate emission].The resonant frequencies of oxygen are given by»(N, J = N*-N, J = N ± 1) = K Q + fi 0/2 - 6^/2' + n + 2)+[(2n + 1)/B0 + 2B 1 (n 2 -f n6n3 + 13n 2 + lOn + 4) - f(n)whereI) 2 ,[f(n)] 2 = [(2n + 1){(B0 -+B9 (3n4 + 6n3 + 13n 2 + lOn + 4)} - l!tl* J 22n + 12 9 25n + 2)1 f2\n + 2x 1 (n^ + n + 1)]——————Jn = N + 1,and the parameters are given in the molecular constant table under reference number 1958.( The s's in the published expression for f(n) should be entered as 5 f s as above.)55
