| May 17, 2021 at 18:43 | comment | added | Massimo Ortolano | @Lysenkoism The fine and hyperfines structure of the energy levels were already known in the 1920s-1930s (actually the sodium doublet was discovered even before, at the end of the XIX century). A nice old book about this is this one. It was written in the 1937, and so is interesting from an historical perspective (don't expect to find a description of modern spectroscopic methods). If you want to discover modern spectroscopic techniques, you can have a look at Wolfgang Demtröder, Laser spectroscopy | |
