Abstract

The original online version of this article (Stanislaw Olszewski (2016) Semiclassical and Quantum-Mechanical Formalism Applied in Calculating the Emission Intensity of the Atomic Hydrogen. Journal of Modern Physics, 7, 1004-1020.
http://dx.doi.org/10.4236/jmp.2016.79091) unfortunately contains a mistake. The author wishes to correct the errors in Section 2.

Erratum

(20)

(20a)

(20b)

Certainly in (20a) and (20b) should not be confused with in (5).

A characteristic point in (20), (20a) and (20b) is that the angular momentum of the beginning state is larger than the angular momentum of the end state. In Table 3, the intensity ratios are represented:

(21)

which corresponded to transitions between the higher energy states having the angular momentum and lower energy stated . This is a case representing the angular momentum behaviour opposite to that given in (20), (20a) and (20b).
