The temperature dependence of emission from iodine, heated in a shock wave to 1000 K–2000 K, has been measured at 4550, 5550, 6950, 7550, and 7820 Å. Preliminary measurements of the emission at 6380 Å were also made. The temperature dependence of the emission was calculated at these wavelengths for transitions to the ground electronic state X(1Σg+) of iodine from the excited electronic states, A(3Π1u), (1Π1u), and [Formula: see text]. The calculated results are in a reasonable agreement with experimental data. For the banded emission due to the B → X transition, a theory of the temperature dependence of emission was developed. At 6950, 7550, and 7820 Å, the results of this theory agree with the experimental data thus identifying the B → X transition as the source of emission at these wavelengths. The temperature dependence of emission at 4550 Å is consistent with calculated temperature dependence for either (1Π1u) → X or [Formula: see text] transitions. The temperature dependence of the emission at 5550 Å is consistent with calculated temperature dependence for the above two transitions, as well as for the A(3Π1u) → X transition.
