Abstract
The thickness of the He II film at 1.40°K vs height to 40 cm has been measured by an optical method. Results agree better with an expression of the form than with or . Evidence was obtained suggesting that the contour of the film cannot be accounted for by considering it to be an adsorbed film subjected to a varying pressure. The pressure would decrease with height due to gravitational effects in a vertical gas column.
