Effect of pressure on hydrogen spectrum

[zincshow]

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?

TIA

Hi,

I can hardly imagine hi-pressure without high temperature though it is possible. The fact is that if your hi-pressure is related to high temperatures then you will have high energy transitions. However if you have high pressure with room temperature I don't think (i have the Boltzmann factor in mind) that you will have such high energy transitions...
