Abstract
Lord Rayleigh has recently found that the time of relaxation of the Balmer series of hydrogen excited by an electrodeless discharge is at least of the order 10
-5
sec. after it has been blown out of the electric field by its own expansion. Following Page, it is assumed that the luminosity is due to recombination of electrons with protons, and then Kramers’s theory yields halfvalue periods certainly larger than 10
-5
sec. under the special experimental conditions. Difficulties in the application of this theory raised by Cillié and Page are briefly discussed.
