Hey folks, give me a little feedback on this. The books I've read all
indicate that atomic fine structure consists only of two energy
levels. However, I have been given reason to believe that for most
excited states, there are more than two levels. Is this the case? How
would I determine the number of levels in fine structure? Also, what
are the selection rules for fine structure to fine structure
transitions? Thanks.

Perhaps I'm not understanding your question.
