The picture of the absorption and emission is wrong. The labels should be hf not hbar*f. hbar is h/2(pi) which is not correct.
I completely reviewed this page now and added an overview to the effects determining the energy level. Such an overview was missing so far on the Wikipedia but seems pretty useful.
But: it's really not complete yet and maybe the individual should be move into a proper table instead of subchapters...
The article uses, but does not define Z. The article defines, but does not use Q. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 134.79.24.33 ( talk) 17:55, 5 October 2007 (UTC)
I removed the stub marker because this article is way too long to be a stub. If someone feels like it still needs attention then they should add it to the list of pages needing attention. Starfoxy 22:04, 30 Apr 2005 (UTC)
See the talk at talk:quantum state.
The Ground state and Excited state articles are rather short and could be merged into Energy level, especially since Energy level pretty much covers their most important material anyway. I probably won't do it myself without a consensus. H Padleckas ( talk) 05:39, 10 January 2011 (UTC)
Electronic state should also be merged into this one. Drxenocide ( talk) 17:02, 29 November 2011 (UTC)
Why do we say that energy of an electron is quantized? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 113.199.240.62 ( talk) 11:14, 21 July 2010 (UTC)
Oops! I deleted the "Explanation" section by mistake; Good thing User:Chetvorno noticed and restored it. H Padleckas ( talk) 01:58, 5 January 2011 (UTC)
I am aware that fractional energy levels is disputed, and controversial. However, it isn't even listed here -- not even with a "This is disputed; see X for details" entry.
http://byzipp.com/energy/ talks about hydrinos matching relativistic hydrogen.
A recent press release http://www.alt-energy.info/hydrogen-power/blacklight-power-planning-demo-of-its-tech-in-2011/ claims to have independent verification and a real world demo coming.
I have no personal connection with them; I just think that, for completeness, this article should mention fractional levels, and direct readers to a more complete article.
(That "hydrino" redirects to the article on the company is a bit biased; at least the company's article indicates that it's not neutral.)

Just a thought... It might be worth clarifying that the energy levels discussed on the page (at least, as it is now) are specific to the case of non-interacting particles, or particles that only interact in a mean field sense. To be totally accurate with electrons in atoms, nucleons in nuclei, etc., the total Hamiltonian is many-body and so the energy levels of the total system are not exactly describable in terms of single-particle energy levels. -- Nanite ( talk) 17:03, 17 June 2013 (UTC)
"Only stationary states with energies corresponding to integral numbers of wavelengths can exist; for other states the waves interfere destructively, resulting in zero probability density. "
What does this sentence mean? What are "energies corresponding to integral numbers of wavelengths"? What is the argument that states with other energies interfere destructively? My understanding is that states whose energy is outside the spectrum of H, if this is what is meant by "other states", simply don't exist, not that they self-destruct. Could someone remove this. 89.217.0.120 ( talk) 13:31, 25 May 2014 (UTC)
Please get rid of the reference to orbits in the second paragraph. 184.157.221.71 ( talk) 22:41, 26 January 2017 (UTC)

This article could do well to have its first image be a dirac representation of orbitals and corresponding energy levels. 98.115.164.53 ( talk) 15:10, 7 July 2024 (UTC)
