The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- It is produced by a spin-flip transition, which means the direction of the electron's spin is reversed relative to the spin of the proton.
- This is a quantum state change between the two hyperfine levels of the hydrogen 1 s ground state.
- The electromagnetic radiation producing this line has a frequency of 1420.405751768 MHz, which is equivalent to a wavelength of 21.106114054160 cm in a vacuum.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Hydrogen line article was read about 63,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 71 and blocks with 54: each hit it takes is cut by 22 %.
