I'm looking for the more precise value for the 2S-2P lamb shift transition frequency.
I found the value 1 057 844.0(2.4) kHz in the National Institute of Standards and Technology website: http://physics.nist.gov/PhysRefData/HDEL/transfreq.html.
Can someone tell me if there is a better value?
Thanks.

1. What is hydrogen spectroscopy?

Hydrogen spectroscopy is a scientific technique that uses the interaction between light and hydrogen atoms to study their energy levels and structure. It involves shining a light on a sample of hydrogen gas and analyzing the resulting spectrum to gather information about the atoms' behavior.

2. How does hydrogen spectroscopy work?

In hydrogen spectroscopy, a sample of hydrogen gas is placed in a chamber and exposed to a specific wavelength of light. The atoms in the gas absorb the energy from the light and release it in the form of photons. These photons are then analyzed to determine the energy levels and transitions of the hydrogen atoms.

3. What are the applications of hydrogen spectroscopy?

Hydrogen spectroscopy has a wide range of applications, including determining the composition of stars and other celestial objects, studying the properties of molecules and materials, and detecting the presence of hydrogen in various environments. It is also used in medical imaging techniques such as MRI.

4. What information can be obtained from hydrogen spectroscopy?

Hydrogen spectroscopy can provide information about the energy levels, transitions, and structure of hydrogen atoms. It can also reveal the presence of other elements or molecules in a sample, as well as their relative abundance and distribution.

5. Why is hydrogen spectroscopy important?

Hydrogen spectroscopy is a powerful tool for understanding the fundamental properties of atoms and molecules. It has applications in various fields of science, including astronomy, chemistry, and physics. It allows scientists to study the structure and behavior of matter at a microscopic level, leading to advancements in technology and our understanding of the universe.
