When atoms in excited states collide with unexcited atoms they can transfer their excitation energy to those atoms. The most efficient energy transfer occurs when the excitation energy matches the energy matches the energy of an excited state in the unexcited atom. Assuming that we have a collection of excited hydrogen atoms in the excited state,are there any transitions of that could be most efficiently excited by the hydrogen atoms?
