Brightness of shock waves in argon in the vacuum UV region

  • Published:
Journal of Applied Mechanics and Technical Physics Aims and scope

Abstract

A description is given of a method and results of investigation of the brightness of shock waves in argon of normal density in the spectral region 78 nm < λ < 99 nm. The experimental values of brightness temperatures are evidence that the radiation is “black” in the shock speed range investigated, from 4.9 to 9.2 km/sec. The absorption coefficients of the shock-compressed argon are evaluated.
