Abstract
Using a microwave and radio frequency resonance approach we observe the transitions of ytterbium from the states to the states for and . The energies of the states of are determined from the observed intervals and the known values of the energies. We use a nonadiabatic core polarization model to analyze the energy levels to determine the dipole and quadrupole polarizabilities of the ground state of . We find the values and .
