Talk:Energy spectrum

Deletion? Merge? Clean up?
I don't know what this article mean. For me energy spectrum is synonym for frequency spectrum. Moreover many mistakes are spoiling this article. One cannot define the energy distribution of individual particles except in some Hartree-Fock-type approximation. The only experimentally observable quantity is the total energy (more precisely energy differences). If someone can clean this up he should do so before I redirect all this to frequency spectrum.

 * It is definity NOT a syonym for frequency spectrum. Energy spectra are used in the study of Cosmic rays, operation of nuclear reactors, vibration anaysis in industry and mny other applications.

In my opinion, the potential content of this article is covered in the article on the spectrum or possibly one of the articles listed on the spectrum (disambiguation) page. Basically, a spectrum is a dispersion of something as a function of the energy/frequency of it's constituents, so an article on energy spectrum shouldn't be needed. oysteinp 21 October 2005.
