A study is made of the incoherent radiation from an isotropic, quiescent plasma of a low degree of ionization. Three cases are treated theoretically: the transparent plasma, the semiopaque plasma, and the opaque plasma. Radiation from positive columns of d-c glow discharges in helium and hydrogen for the three cases treated theoretically are studied experimentally at 3000 Mc/sec, and good agreement is obtained between theory and experiment.
