In the simple Bohr m odel, ( 1S1/ 2 - 2 S1/ 2) = 4 ( 4 S1/ 2 - 4P1/ 2)
=> measured frequency difference,
= ( 1S1/ 2 - 2 S1/ 2) - 4 ( 4 S1/ 2 - 4P1/ 2) : Lamb shift giv en by
L( 1 S ) = - L( 2 S ) - f s( 4 S1 / 2 - 4 P1 / 2) - ( 2 S )
* L ( 2 S ) is know n ,
* f s( 4 S1/ 2 - 4P1/ 2) can be calculat ed by Dir ac theory
