When the atomic speed very low V is considerably small when compared to the c, that of the speed of light. Hence the above mentioned equation could be written as shown below. Hence, at low velocities, relativistic kinetic energy reduces to classical kinetic energy. No object with mass can achieve the speed of light because an infinite amount of energy input and an infinite amount of work is required to accelerate a mass to the speed of light.

(h)
Interpretation:
The four sources of pressure broadening should be listed by consulting the paper by Gornushkin et al. (note 10).
Explanation of Solution
The interaction of the surrounding particles with the radiating atom is the major source of pressure line broadening, which causes a phase shift and a frequency disturbance.
The most important cases of interaction are:
- linear Starkeffect, p = 2;
- resonance interaction between identical particles, p = 3;
- quadratic Stark effect, p = 4,
- van der Waals interaction, p = 6.
The superposition problems are avoided by two approximations:
- ‘nearest neighbor approximation’, in this the considered interaction is interaction with the closest perturber.
- The impact or collision concept, in which moving perturbers act sequentially in time.
