Findings

Red shift increases with hydrogen atom concentration

Dielectric constant explains spectral line shifts and dips

Spectral dip appears on the blue side of shifted line

Abstract

The Lorentz oscillator system is studied to interpret the spectral lines of hydrogen atoms. The dielectric constant of this system is analyzed, which takes into account the electrical polarization of hydrogen atoms. This dielectric constant gives the red shift of the spectral line and the appearance of the optical spectrum dip. This dip is on the blue side of the spectral position of the shifted line. The value of this red shift and the width of this dip strongly depend on the hydrogen atom concentration and the spectral position of the not shifted line. This red shift increases with an increase in the hydrogen atom concentration.
