Hi,
I was wondering what really ARE spectral lines?
Are they electromagnetic waves?
But still they are affected by magnetic & electric field in the Zeeman and Starks effect respectively, whereas the electromagnetic waves are not. so is there any theory explaining all these things?
Also how did the scientists established the existence of sublevels and orbitals on the mere splitting of spectral lines?
