Wavelength difference of sodium d lines?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the search for the wavelength difference of sodium D lines, specifically the D1 and D2 lines. Participants recommend using resources such as the Wikipedia page on sodium D lines and the NIST Physics Reference Data Handbook for accurate wavelength data. Key wavelengths for sodium D1 and D2 lines are found in tables 3 and 4 of the referenced sources. The conversation emphasizes the importance of precise search terms when looking for scientific data.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of atomic spectra and spectral lines

Search harder! Then you will find the answer in http://steck.us/alkalidata/

I looked at data tables , but there was nothing about sodium spectrum :(
 
See tables 3 and 4 for the wavelengths in air for the sodium D1 and D2 lines.

When you say, "I googled for it but nothing came up," what do you mean? When I typed "sodium d lines" into Google, the very first entry was a Wikipedia page with the wavelength of the sodium D1 and D2 lines. What did you type in?
