In this quantum mechanical system, light absorbance strongly occurring at 121.6 nanometers produces the Gunn-Peterson trough.
In this quantum mechanical system, light absorbance strongly occurring at 121.6 nanometers produces the Gunn-Peterson trough. A tiny splitting of energy levels that occurs in this system due to vacuum interactions is called the Lamb shift. Schrödinger's famous 1926 paper (*) solved the Schrödinger equation for this quantum mechanical system. R times the quantity one over the final state of an electron squared minus one over the initial state of the electron squared is equal to the wavenumber for lines in this system's emission spectrum. That equation works since Z equals one for this system, making it the simplest version of the Rydberg formula. For 10 points, identify this system consisting of an electron in orbit around a proton.
