Abstract
For pt.I see ibid., vol.17, p.29-52 (1984). Wavelengths, dipole strengths, oscillator strengths and transition probabilities for electromagnetic transitions between low-lying states of the hydrogen atom embedded in a magnetic field of arbitrary strength (08T) are calculated with high numerical accuracy for a sufficiently dense mesh of B values using the wavefunctions and energy values determined in paper I by expanding the wavefunctions in terms of spherical harmonics (weak and moderate fields), or in terms of Landau states (strong and very strong fields). Effects caused by the finiteness of the proton mass are taken into account, and the scaling laws are quoted by the aid of which the results presented can be utilised to cover quantitatively the whole hydrogenic sequence in intense magnetic fields; finally, the quality of the results of previous calculations is checked.
