Abstract
The intention of this paper is to determine some of the properties of the screened coulomb [sic] potential, and look into its validity as a model for observed emission spectra of hydrogen plasmas.
Some variational methods will be examined and the problem of finding upper bounds to the excited states of atoms will also be investigated.
The variational method is then applied to the anomoly [sic] of the disappearance of spectral lines originating from high principle of quantum numbers and the results are utilized to examine Debye-Huckel theory and conclude that screening alone is not sufficient to explain the observed cut off in emission spectra.
