Abstract
The hydrogen atom and its spectrum treated in this chapter are of special interest in atomic spectroscopy because only for the hydrogen atom can the Schrödinger and Dirac equations be solved analytically. So-called hydrogenlike approximations are widely used in the theory of atomic spectra.
