Abstract

Wavelengths of the individual fine-structure components of the n=1-2(Ly alpha), n=1-3(Ly beta), n=1-4(Ly gamma), n=1-5(Ly delta), n=1-6(Ly epsilon), n=1-7(Ly xi), n=2-3(H alpha), n=2-4(H beta), n=2-5(H gamma), and n=2-6(H delta), and n=2-7(H epsilon), transititons of H and D are determined from the most recent published theoretical values for the binding energies [G.W. Erickson, J. Phys. Chem. Ref. Data 6, 831 (1977)]. Theoretical line strengths are used to obtain recommended values for the peaks of unresolved blends of these components as likely to be observed in the laboratory.
