This is a continuation of the previous post on the necessity to give up classical physics for quantum physics in its text book form of Standard Quantum Mechanics StdQM. We ask to what extent RealQM as a form of classical physics can explain the observed spectrum of the Hydrogen atom as expressed in stimulated radiation. We thus will compare
- StdQM: Spectral line appears from superposition of wave functions of eigenstates.
- RealQM: Spectral line appears from oscillation between charge distributions of eigenstates.
- StdQM: Spectral frequency appears as beat frequency of wave functions with eigenfrequency variation in time according to the Schrödinger's equation. Connection between frequency and energy is secondary. Radiation can appear to be spontaneous.
- RealQM: Spectral frequency is not beat frequency, but simply the frequency $\nu=\frac{\Delta E}{h}$ which matches the energy difference $\Delta E$ between eigenstates with $h$ Planck's constant in an assumed coupling between frequency and energy. There is an active exchange of energy between atom and radiation field with frequency matching the jump in energy. The atom is forced to respond to radiation of certain frequency as a dipole. The radiation is not spontaneous.
