The measured values are compared tothe calculated wavelengths using the Bohr’s model of hydrogen atom. b) Sodium lamp: thestudents record the yellow D-line from sodium and resolve its two components which areassociated with the 3p electron state, which is split into the P3/2 and P1/2 states due to the spin-orbital coupling. The students measure the energy separation of the two components of the D-line and compare it with the value in the literature
