(physics) The structure of spectra characterised by the splitting of lines due to relativistic effects
Interference fringes, showing fine structure (splitting) of a cooled deuterium source, viewed through a Fabry–Pérot interferometer.
(physics) The structure of spectra characterised by the splitting of lines due to relativistic effects
Energy diagram (to scale) of the hydrogen atom for n = 2 corrected by the fine structure and magnetic field. First column shows the non-relativistic case (only kinetic energy and Coulomb potential), the relativistic correction to the kinetic energy is added in the second column, the third column includes all of the fine structure, and the fourth adds the Zeeman effect (magnetic field dependence).
(physics) The structure of spectra characterised by the splitting of lines due to relativistic effects
Relativistic corrections (Dirac) to the energy levels of a hydrogen atom from Bohr's model. The fine structure correction predicts that the Lyman-alpha line (emitted in a transition from n = 2 to n = 1) must split into a doublet.
