The discussion focuses on the relationship between hydrogen gas pressure and the intensity of its spectral lines. It is established that high pressure, when coupled with high temperature, leads to high energy transitions resulting in more intense ultraviolet emissions. Conversely, high pressure at room temperature does not produce significant high energy transitions, as indicated by the Boltzmann factor. The need for a chart illustrating these relationships is also highlighted.
PREREQUISITESPhysicists, chemists, and students studying spectroscopy, particularly those interested in the effects of pressure and temperature on gas emissions.
Hi,zincshow said:I am interested in finding and understanding the relationship between the hydrogen spectrum (which of the lines are more intense) and the pressure that the hydrogen gas is under. Does hi-pressure gas mean lots of ultraviolet or hardly any? Is there a chart somewhere?
