isomer shift

subject fact

isomer shift has definition Displacement of an absorption line due to the fact that the absorbing nuclei have a different s-electron density from that of the emitting nuclei. has source: Hopkins, J. 1976 Glossary of Astronomy and Astrophysics, University of Chicago Press, 2001-09-27 09:29:46.0
is a kind of wavelength shift

wavelength shift changes property frequency (and wavelength)

optical process has domain optics 2001-09-27 09:29:44.0
