Permalink to relation

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.

Authored explanation

Angular momentum and parity constrain electric-dipole matrix elements.

How to interpret this relation type

A theory, law, or interaction describes the behavior of the target within a stated regime. The edge detail must state important limits or qualifications.
