- I believe this is incorrect. A fall from infinity to n=1/2 gives 54.4 eV,
- but a fall from n=1 to n=1/2 would (assuming MKF) give 54.4-13.6=40.8 eV.

- It is unlikely that any hydrogen atoms in a MKF cell will start from anything
- other than the n=1 ground state, and therefore we should look for 40.8 eV
- photons rather than 54.4 eV photons.
