What Is Fine Structure Of Atom?

What Is Fine Structure Of Atom? Fine structure, in spectroscopy, the splitting of the main spectral lines of an atom into two or more components, each representing a slightly different wavelength. Fine structure is produced when an atom emits light in making the transition from one energy state to another. Why is fine structure important?

What Does The Fine Structure Constant Represent? The fine-structure constant gives the maximum positive charge of an atomic nucleus that will allow a stable electron-orbit around it within the Bohr model (element feynmanium). For an electron orbiting an atomic nucleus with atomic number Z, mv2r = 14πε0 Ze2r2. Where does the fine-structure constant come from?
