A general formula has been developed which is applicable to transitions of any multipolarity and which also contains the penetration terms. Calculations have been performed, and both pene­tration terms and the higher multipole transitions have been found to be significant when the "meson" is in a state of high principal quantum number.118 pagesAvailable to the World Wide WebThesis
