Hydrogen Spectral Series

On the hydrogen spectrum series
The hydrogen spectrum series is a key clue to explore the atomic structure. The distribution of its spectral lines follows a specific law, which is of great significance in scientific research.

Ancient scholars first observed the hydrogen spectrum and saw that its spectral lines were discrete and discontinuous. This is very different from traditional cognition, which has triggered many conjectures and inquiries. After years of study, it has gradually become clear how wonderful its laws are.

The Balmer series is an important part of the visible light region in the hydrogen spectrum. The wavelength of its spectral lines satisfies a specific formula, that is, $\ frac {1} {\ lambda} = R_H (\ frac {1} {2 ^ 2} -\ frac {1} {n ^ 2}) $, $n = 3,4,5,\ cdots $. $R_H $is the Rydberg constant, which accurately describes the wavelength of the Balmer line, allowing scholars to see one of the internal structures of the hydrogen atom.

The Ryman system is in the ultraviolet region, and its spectral line wavelength follows $\ frac {1} {\ lambda} = R_H (\ frac {1} {1 ^ 2} -\ frac {1} {n ^ 2}) $, $n = 2,3,4,\ cdots $. The discovery of the Ryman system further expands our understanding of hydrogen spectroscopy and reveals more mysteries of atomic energy level transitions.

In addition to the Balmer and Ryman systems, there are also Pershing systems, Blakai systems, and Pfengde systems. Pershing is in the infrared region, $\ frac {1} {\ lambda} = R_H (\ frac {1} {3 ^ 2} -\ frac {1} {n ^ 2}) $, $n = 4,5,6,\ cdots $; Brackay is also in the infrared, $\ frac {1} {\ lambda} = R_H (\ frac {1} {4 ^ 2} -\ frac {1} {n ^ 2}) $, $n = 5,6,7,\ cdots $; Pufengde is also in the infrared, $\ frac {1} {\ lambda} = R_H (\ frac {1} {5 ^ 2} -\ frac {1} {n ^ 2}) $, $n = 6, 7, 8,\ cdots $.

The laws of all systems are derived from the quantization of the energy levels of the hydrogen atom. Electrons transition between different energy levels, absorbing or emitting photons of specific frequencies, thus forming this discrete spectral line. The study of the hydrogen spectrum series not only lays a solid foundation for atomic physics, but also provides an important way for future generations to explore the mysteries of the microscopic world.

Today, our understanding of the hydrogen spectral series is still deepening, and its development in science, like a beacon, leads us to explore the endless microscopic universe.
