Excited He+-Hydrogen Atom Collision: Transition Possibilities

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the potential transitions of the He+ ion when colliding with an excited hydrogen atom in the 2s^1 state. Participants emphasize the importance of conducting calculations to explore these transitions rather than relying solely on theoretical discussions. Additionally, the relevance of line spectra for both helium and hydrogen is highlighted as a crucial aspect of understanding the interactions between these species.

PREREQUISITES

is there any transition of He+ that could be excited by collision with an excited hydrogen atom in 2s^1?

Instead of asking us,how about making the calculation on your own...?

Daniel.

P.S.Do you know the line spectra of the 2 elements/species...?
