Hydrogen Line Revisited

A paper just published in the July/August 2011 edition of IEEE Potentials contains a concept where the frequency of the hydrogen emission has a prominent role.

For those with IEEE membership, all IEEE Potential articles are free to members.

The article, titled, "A Methodology to Define Physical Constants Using Mathematical Constants" is on the second page of the Content pages.

For those without IEEE membership, a postprint of the article can be read/downloaded from my website.

Radio amateurs should not have a problem understanding the concept, as the only thing new is apply basic electromagnetic principles to a pair of right triangles. There is pure mathematical beauty in having the numeric value of the hydrogen emission defined by two very familiar mathematical values.
