Abstract: High temperature radiating Air is produced experimentally by focusing a shock wave with the help of a spherically converging test section attached to a shock tube. The converging section concentrates the shock to a point with minimum diffusion losses. A shift in radiation towards the UV region was observed with an increase in the strength of the focusing shock wave. The atomic and molecular emission was observed from the radiation spectrum. Along with the emission from molecules of Air, emissions from contaminations were also observed. The temperature of the radiating gas was estimated using the blackbody radiation curve and was observed to be 13000 K.
