 Hydrogen line - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Because of magnetic interactions between the particles, a hydrogen atom that has the spins of the electron and proton aligned in the same direction (parallel) has slightly more energy than one where the spins of the electron and proton are in opposite directions (anti-parallel).
The line has an extremely small natural width because of its long lifetime, so most broadening is due to doppler shifts caused by the motion of the emitting regions relative to the observer.
Hydrogen line observations have also been used indirectly to calculate the mass of galaxies, to put limits on any changes over time of the universal gravitational constant and to study dynamics of individual galaxies.

 Ask An Astronomer > Galactic Astronomy
The spin-flip transition of atomic hydrogen in its ground electronic state leads to the emission of a photon with a wavelength of 21cm.
line is considered as probably the most important achievement in the astronomical study of the interstellar medium.
The higher energy level is due to parallel spins of the proton and electron (equivalent to bar magnets with opposite polarities in a single line) while the lower energy level is due to anti-parallel spins of the proton and electron (equivalent to bar magnets with same polarities on a single line).

 Hydrogen concentration detection in weld arc plasma - Patent 5093553
An optical input apparatus (10) for use with a weld evaluation monitor (14) to determine the concentration of hydrogen in a weld arc atmosphere (62) including weld arc plasma and shield gas is disclosed as including an optical fiber bundle (16) having a single optical input (18) and a plurality of optical outputs (22).
Radiation having only specific wavelengths of hydrogen, shield gas and background emissions are allowed to pass through respective optical line filters (56) to associated optical transducers (58), which generate electrical output signals having amplitudes representative of the intensities of the hydrogen, shield gas and background emissions.
It was found that the ratio of radiation intensities of the hydrogen Balmer series alpha emission line at 6563 Angstroms and the argon emission line at 6965 Angstroms approximated a linear function of hydrogen concentration in the weld arc plasma.

 Why Hydrogen is No Solution   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
Hydrogen's problems are not difficult to understand and require little more than common sense applied to well-documented and easily understandable scientific fact.
Arguing that hydrogen burned in a car engine produces no greenhouse gases ignores the fact that those same gases were produced at the plant that made the hydrogen to begin with.
Hydrogen does not freely occur in nature in useful quantities, therefore hydrogen must be split from molecules, either molecules of methane derived from fossil fuels or from water.

 USNO Hydrogen Masers   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
USNO's current hydrogen masers [Symmetricom model MHM 2010] are designed to operate with a maximum frequency instablility of 3.0 parts in 10 to the 15th for periods of from 1,000 to 10,000 seconds and 2.0 parts in 10 to the 13th * t**-(3/5) for 1 sec < t < 1000 sec.
Some of the main components of a hydrogen maser are the hydrogen gas supply, a controllable "leak" for the gas into the high vacuum system, a gas discharge to produce atomic hydrogen, and a state selector which rejects atoms in the lower energy states and focusses the higher states into the storage bulb.
The quartz bulb is located in a precisely machined pure copper cylinder which acts as a microwave resonant cavity for the 1.420 GHz frequency of the 21 cm hydrogen line.

 UD Experts & Speakers: Hot Topic
The presence of a stellar wind is indicated by a subtle absorption signature in the Lyman-alpha line.
The central part of this line is always dark, because atomic hydrogen in the interstellar gas towards a star absorbs this part of the line.
This material produces additional absorption in the stellar Lyman-alpha line, and the decrease in velocity of this material means that this additional absorption is Doppler shifted to the "red" side of the interstellar absorption, in agreement with observations.

 Refinery Reports FAQ
Hydrogen input from refinery reformer units is counted indirectly as input of crude oil or unfinished oils.
