Abstract

The red shift and central intensity are given for eleven spectral lines having an observed reduced equivalent widthV ranging fromV=15 toV=200. The computations have been repeated for eight values of the scattering thickness of the chromosphere, from\(\tau ' = 0.2/\sqrt 3 \) to\(\tau ' = 1.4/\sqrt 3 \). A theoretical interpretation of measurements in the Sun is also given.
