Intensities of infrared transitions in N2O and H2CO by electron impact spectroscopy

Measurements of relative intensities of infrared transitions in N2O and H2CO have been made using forward inelastic scattering of 100 eV electrons. Agreement with previous infrared and electron impact measurements is satisfactory, showing that infrared intensities can be obtained from electron scattering measurements without the need for pressure broadening or corrections for the spectrometer slitwidth.
