hyperfine

Example:The hyperfine structure of atomic hydrogen was crucial in developing precise measurements in quantum mechanics.

Definition:Refers to the detailed structure of a spectral line in atomic physics that is due to interactions and small energy differences between closely spaced energy levels.

Example:The hyperfine sensitivity of the new spectrometer allowed for groundbreaking discoveries in spectroscopy.

Definition:A high level of sensitivity to detect very small differences or variations, often used in scientific instruments for accurate measurements.

Example:The experiment required hyperfine resolution in the instrumentation to achieve the level of accuracy needed.

Definition:Refers to the ability to distinguish very closely spaced levels or features within a spectrum or measurement, indicating a level of detail far beyond standard resolution.
