So far only one kind of atomic spectra is known in literature that can be caused by thermal excitation. However, the current study has unveiled a new class of atomic spectra in the field of atomic spectroscopy exclusively from radioisotopes and XRF sources, since valence excitation takes place by Bharat Radiation energy higher than thermal energy produced by γ, β or X-ray energy within the same excited atom. For these reasons, UV dominant atomic spectra of ionizing radiation sources widely differed from basic atomic spectra.
Now the new class of ‘room temperature atomic spectra of solid radioisotopes and XRF sources’ caused by previously unknown Bharat Radiation is known as M.A.Padmanabha Rao's Discovery 5.
In these spectra UV would always be over 83% in the gross light intensity, while VIS and NIR radiation intensities share the remaining 17%. Low γ, β or X-ray energy from sources such as Rb XRF source, 113Sn, and 133Ba could emit UV with intensity above 95%, while the VIS and NIR radiations shared the rest 5%. Comparatively, high β energy from 90Y could hardly cause 83.36% UV intensity, while VIS and NIR intensities correspondingly rose to 8.02% and 8.62%. Difference in nature of spectrum is evident between Rb XRF source and 86Rb, and between 57Co and 60Co. This is due to the fact that the nature of atomic spectrum of any source depends purely upon its ionizing radiation energy regardless of atomic number Z, the type of radiation whether γ, β or X-ray, and nature of source medium whether salt or metal. These spectra can be produced not only from radioisotopes, but also from salts or metals on bombarding with intense gamma beam from source such as 241Am, as happens with AMC 2084, U.K. Bharat and optical emissions now available, besides X-rays from a XRF source, and besides γ, and β emissions from a radioisotope open up new frontiers for research and wide range of applications. Futuristic studies on the nature of atomic spectra of radioisotopes and XRF sources provide a new understanding on the energy levels of excited atom.
