Abstract The form factor for nlm → n ′ l ′ m transitions in the hydrogen atom is deduced on the basis of kinematics of the classical mechanics. The consistency of this approach is verified by derivation of the known result for the transition probability averaged over m . The classical transition probability as a function of the final state energy and angular momentum is investigated comprehensively in the case of l = m =0.
