In this post [Observables][1] By Urs Schreiber he denotes the space of distributional sections in defenition 7.9 by ##\Gamma_{\Sigma}^{\prime}\left(E^*\right) ## That is if ##u \in \Gamma_{\Sigma}^{\prime}\left(E^*\right)## than ##u## is a linear functional that takes as argument...

if you keep pouring energy to the system we will arrive to a plasma state and so no spectrum

How do we know that the rate of dissociation is greater that of recombing (production of molecules)?

Is there any justification based on quantum mechanics that for higher energy the process of dissociation of hydrogen molecule is more probable than that of excitation of the electron of this molecule

To measure the atomic hydrogen spectrum people often uses hydrogen gas tubes as light source. Since the gas in the tube is the molecule ##H_2## , why we obtain the spectrum of atomic hydrogen? My guess is that because the voltage is so high, so that the molecules are totally dissociated. If...
