Show Abstract
Three centuries of spectroscopy are briefly reviewed; no significant progress was made in the first half of that period but spectacular advances in experiment and theory followed. During the past 50 years, spectral investigations and quantum theory have uniquely determined the electronic structures, ground states, ionization potentials, and strongest lines of 95 atoms and several hundred ions. Spectroscopy explained the periodic law and was the proving ground for quantum mechanics. It has provided most of our information about mechanical-, magnetic-, and electric-quadrupole moments for isotopic nuclei and promises to illuminate nuclear physics.
