About this Digital Document
Due in large part to its success in explaining observed spectral regularities, quantum mechanics is today generally accepted as the correct theoretical basis for dealing with atomic and molecular systems. As yet, however, the theory has not yet been developed to the point where the properties of complex systems can be calculated with an accuracy comparable to that of experimental determinations. Experimental spectroscopy continues, as it has in the past, to furnish the best available values for the energy states of particular systems and to provide a proving ground for further development of the theory. The problem of deducing values for the energy levels of particular atoms or molecules from spectral observations is the problem of the spectral analysis.
