%N A120072 Numerator triangle for hydrogen spectrum rationals.
%C A120072 Frequencies or energies of the spectral lines of the hydrogen (H) atom
are given, according to quantum theory, by r(m,n)*3.287*PHz (1 Peta
Hertz= 10^15 s^{-1}) or r(m,n)*13.599 eV (electron Volts), respectively.
The wave lengths are lambda(m,n) = (1/r(m,n))* 91.196 nm (all decimals
rounded). See the W. Lang link for more details.
%C A120072 The spectral series for n=1,2,...,5, m>=n+1, are named after Lyman, Balmer,
Paschen, Brackett, Pfund, respectively.
%C A120072 The corresponding denominator triangle is A120073.
%C A120072 The rationals are r(m,n):= A120072(m,n)/A120073(m,n) = A120070(m,n)/(m^2*n^2)=
1/ n^2 - 1/m^2 and they are given in lowest terms.
%H A120072 W. Lang: <a href="http://www-itp.physik.uni-karlsruhe.de/~wl/EISpub/A120072.text">
First ten rows, rationals and more.</a>
%F A120072 a(m,n)=numerator(r(m,n)) with r(m,n):=1/n^2 - 1/m^2, m>=2, n=1..m-1.
%F A120072 The g.f.s for the columns n=1,..,10 of triangle r(m,n):=A120072(m,n)/
A120073(m,n), m>=2, 1<= n<=m-1, are given in the W. Lang link.
%Y A120072 Row sums give A120074. Row sums of r(m, n) triangle give A120076(m)/A120077(m),
m>=2.
%Y A120072 Cf. A126252.
