... The HI atom can also be ionized from any excited state, as well, in which case less energy is required. For example, an HI atom in the n=2 state is already at a level of over 10.x ev above ground so it only requires an additional 3.x ev to ionize it. This requires a photon of 3646 angstroms or short ...

Astronomical spectroscopy
Astronomical spectroscopy is the study of astronomy using the techniques of spectroscopy to measure the spectrum of electromagnetic radiation, including visible light, which radiates from stars and other hot celestial objects. Spectroscopy can be used to derive many properties of distant stars and galaxies, such as their chemical composition, temperature, density, mass, distance, luminosity, and relative motion using Doppler shift measurements.
