Predicting magic wavelengths accurately requires precise knowledge of electric-dipole matrix elements of nearby atomic transitions. As a result, measurements of magic wavelengths allow us to test theoretical predictions for the matrix elements that frequently can not be probed by any other methods. Here, we calculate and measure a magic wavelength near 473 nm of the 5s 2 1 S0−5s5p 3 P1 intercombination transition of 88 Sr. Experimentally, we find 473.361(4) nm for ∆m = 0 (π-transition) and 473.133( 14) nm for ∆m = −1 (σ − -transition). Theoretical calculations yield 473.375( 22) nm and 473.145(20) nm, respectively. The 3 P1 polarizability is dominated by the contributions to the 5p 2 3 P levels and excellent agreement of theory and experiment validates both theoretical values of these matrix elements and estimates of their uncertainties.
