Frequently Asked Questions
What does the Rydberg formula calculate?
It predicts the wavelength of light emitted or absorbed when an electron in a hydrogen atom jumps between two energy levels. Each pair of levels gives a specific spectral line.
What are the Balmer and Lyman series?
The Lyman series covers transitions ending on level one and falls in the ultraviolet. The Balmer series covers transitions ending on level two and includes the visible hydrogen lines you can see in a discharge tube.
