What is a 'transition line' of an atom? please be more helpful here. wikipedia points nowhere.

I have added a section explaining and linking to other articles. This helps explain the atomic spectra for non-scientists. I am also going to casually suggest a merge with the Ritz Method.
  • These articles describe roughly the same theory
  • They provide two different levels of mathematical and conceptual rigor that could greatly complement each other if combined into one article
  • The extremely incomprehensible Ritz method article could use the conceptual introduction provided by the Rydberg-Ritz combination Principle article
  • This one could use the mathematical approach as a good follow-up for more advanced physics or chemistry students who want additional information. Nimur 13:59, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
