Interferometer readings
Interferometer readings. This graph shows the results of a test carried out on the isotopes Kr-86 (Krypton 86) and Hg-198 (Mercury 198) by a Fabry-Perot interferometer. Kr-86 has a much narrower line and sharper peak than Hg-198, while the intensity of radiation emitted by Hg-198 becomes higher at lower pressures than Kr-86

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases the fascinating results of a test conducted on two isotopes, Kr-86 (Krypton 86) and Hg-198 (Mercury 198), using a Fabry-Perot interferometer. The graph depicted in the image reveals intriguing insights into their respective properties. Upon closer observation, it becomes evident that Kr-86 exhibits a significantly narrower line and sharper peak compared to Hg-198. This disparity suggests that Krypton's spectral lines are more concentrated and precise than those of Mercury. Additionally, an interesting phenomenon unfolds as we delve deeper into the graph - the intensity of radiation emitted by Hg-198 actually increases at lower pressures when contrasted with Kr-86. The historical significance of this research cannot be understated, as it sheds light on the behavior and characteristics of these isotopes under varying conditions. It exemplifies how scientific advancements have allowed us to unravel intricate details about chemical elements throughout history. The National Physical Laboratory (NPL) in England played a pivotal role in conducting this experiment, further emphasizing its importance within the realm of physics and chemistry. As we explore this mesmerizing visual representation, we gain valuable insights into radiation patterns, physical phenomena, and technological applications such as interferometry. In summary, this monochrome photograph serves as a testament to humanity's relentless pursuit of knowledge through scientific exploration. It encapsulates years of research while offering glimpses into our understanding of isotopic behavior – an invaluable contribution to both science enthusiasts
