A sample of hydrogen gas was placed in a discharge tube and its spectrum was measured using a high resolution spectrometer. The H¸ line in the spectrum was found to be split into two lines, a high intensity line at 656.28 nm, and a low intensity line at 656.01 nm. This indicates that the hydrogen sample was contaminated with (a) deuterium (c) helium (b) tritium (d) water vapour
