Abstract: The absorption coefficient of gaseous ozone has been measured for the mercury lines at 2537, 2894, 2967, 3021, 3342, and 5770 Å, by measuring the optical absorption and the pressure as the ozone decays in a sealed quartz absorption tube. This avoids the chemical determination of the ozone. The determination gives independent and absolute values of the absorption coefficients, and their standard deviations are 2½% or less. Previous measurements of the absorption coefficients disagree by as much as 25%, but the present results generally agree within the limits of error with those of Inn and Tanaka.
