Emission spectral line intensity

AI Thread Summary
To calculate the intensity of a spectral line, one must consider the energy of the photon released during atomic transitions, which is influenced by factors such as the number of atoms, their excitation state, and the average population of energy levels. The discussion emphasizes the distinction between absolute intensity, which refers to the number of emitted photons over time, and relative intensity. Understanding the Einstein coefficients and energy levels provided by the NIST data is crucial for accurate calculations. Clarification on whether the focus is on relative or absolute intensity is also necessary for precise guidance. Properly addressing these factors will lead to a successful calculation of spectral line intensity.

Dear all

I need to calculate the intensity of the spectral line. I have data from NIST website:
wavelength, Aki (Einstein coefficient), gi, gk, Ei and Ek energy levels.

How do i go about

Thanks for your help

Are you talking about the energy of the photon released from the atomic transition .
 
The intensity of the radiation emitted when an electron transitions from a higher energy state to lower
 
(Absolute) Intensity normally refers to photons per time.
So: how many atoms are there? How are they excited? Do you know the (average) population of the levels? Do you mean relative or absolute intensitiy?
 
Thread 'Is there a white hole inside every black hole?'

Thread 'Is there a white hole inside every black hole?'

This is what I am thinking. How much feasible is it? There is a white hole inside every black hole The white hole spits mass/energy out continuously The mass/energy that is spit out of a white hole drops back into it eventually. This is because of extreme space time curvature around the white hole Ironically this extreme space time curvature of the space around a white hole is caused by the huge mass/energy packed in the white hole Because of continuously spitting mass/energy which keeps...

Thread 'Is Gravity an entropic property like Surface Tension'

Why do two separately floating objects in a liquid "attract" each other ?? What if gravity is an emergent property like surface tension ? What if they both are essentially trying to *minimize disorder at the interfaces — where non-aligned polarized particles are forced to mix with each other* What if gravity is an emergent property that is trying to optimize the entropy emerging out of spin aligned quantum bits
