The field induced by a charged particle moving with
velocity V excites the atoms of the medium turning them
into sources of light waves. Let us consider two arbitrary
points A and B along the path of the particle. The light
waves emitted from these points when the particle passes
them reach the point P simultaneously and reinforce each
other provided they are in phase which is the case is
general if the time taken by the light wave to propagate
from the point A to the point C is equal to that taken by
the particle to fly over the distance AB. Hence we obtain

compared to E, = ~—# for hydrogen atom. Therefore the spectrum is that of He’ ion

(z= 2).
Because of cascading all possible transitions are seen. Thus we look for the number of ways
in which we can select upper and lower levels. The number of ways we can do this is
dn(n-1)
where the factor ; takes account of the fact that the photon emission always arises from
upper —> lower transition.
These are the Lyman lines

For n= 2 we get A= 121-1nm
For n= 3 we get d= 102-2nm
For n= 4 we get h = 96-9 nm
For n=5 we get d = 94-64nm
For n= 6 we get A = 93-45 nm
Thus at the level of accuracy of our calculation, there are four lines
121-1nm, 102-2nm, 96-9nm and 94-64nm.

The ion is He’.
To remove one electron requires 24-6 eV.
The ion that is left is He* which in its ground start has a binding energy of 4E,, = 4#R.
The complete binding energy of both electrons is then
E = E+4hR

Photon can be emitted in H- H collision only if one of the H is excited to an n = 2 state
which then dexcites to n = 1 state by emitting a photon. Let v, and v2 be the velocities of
the two Hydrogen atoms after the collision and M their masses. Then, energy momentum
