Hydrogen spectrum of a spectrometer

The emission spectrum of atomic hydrogen has been divided into a number of spectral series, with wavelengths given by the Rydberg formula. The classification of the series by the Rydberg. To introduce the concept of absorption and emission line spectra and describe the Balmer equation to describe the visible lines of atomic hydrogen. It was the birth of Quantum Mechanics! As a consequence, the energy of the electron around the nucleus is also quantized! In a real life experiment we can never measure the energy of the electron. We can. The Hydrogen atom is the simplest atom and plays a fundamental role in nature. All other (neutral) atoms contain more electrons and are therefore many-body systems requiring. With a spectrometer, the emitted light can be broken down into its various colors or wavelength components and its “spectrum” is observed. If parallel rays of light are incident perpendicular to the plane of a diffraction grating, with uniform phase over the grating, one will observe a diffraction.
