When is Hα line in the emission spectrum of hydrogen atom obtained? Calculate the frequency of the photon emitted during this transition.
Using an expression for energy of electron, obtain the Bohr’s formula for hydrogen spectral lines.
When a beam of white light is passed through sodium vapors and then through a spectrometer, spectrum so obtained has two dark lines present in the yellow region. This spectrum is called:
Hydrogen spectrum consists of discrete bright lines in a dark background and it is specifically known as hydrogen emission spectrum. There is one more type of hydrogen spectrum that exists where we get dark lines on the bright background, it is known as absorption spectrum. Balmer found an empirical formula by the observation of a small part of this spectrum and it is represented by
`1/lambda = "R"(1/2^2 - 1/"n"^2)`, where n = 3, 4, 5,....
