Title: Quantum number Nf = 6?
Post by: ghh on 22/07/2006 20:53:10

Is there a Hydrogen absorbtion line with Quantum number Nf = 6 with a wavelength of 3.282 x 10^-6 metres?

I wouldn't know offhand, however for every pair of possible electron states differing by 1 unit of angular momentum, a spectral line should exist, having the frequency equal to (E2 - E1)/h, with finer adjustments broughtinto the picture by other considerations such as the magnetic moments of the electron and nucleus.
