anonymous · Answer

what you mea have different frequencies??! are you talking about when they jump back to lower energy level, do they emit waves of different frequencies?

anonymous · Answer

yes

anonymous · Answer

yes, an explanation can be found at http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/%E2%80%8Chbase/quantum/hydfin.html

I had thought Fine spectrum is due to orbital quantum number.. and hyperfine spectrum due to the electron spin!!.. :-/

aravindg · Answer

well isnt the frequency dependent only on  the transition from one stationary state  to another ?

anonymous · Answer

yea.. but thats only when you consider Bohr's theory and principle quantum number.. we had seen that.. each spectral lines were made up of more lines closely spaced.. called as fine spectrum

and then more lines called hyper fine spectrum!.. so to account for that we developed 3 other quantum numbers.. which have slightly different energy states!
