Overview of Rydberg formula of hydrogen spectrum

It explains the overview of Rydberg formula of hydrogen spectrum. In 1888, Johannes Rydberg discovered an empirical formula to estimate the wavelengths of known and unknown spectral lines of the hydrogen atomic spectrum. The Rydberg formula served as a generalization to the Balmer formula. It restored the Balmer formula to extend it to all spectral line series of the hydrogen spectrum. But, it did not get much practical significance until 1913. When Neil Bohr explained the groundbreaking facts about the electronic arrangement of the hydrogen atom, the Rydberg formula came into the limelight.

  1. Overview of Rydberg formula Introduction The Rydberg formula helps to determine the wavenumber or wavelengths of hydrogen spectral lines obtained in the hydrogen spectrum. Discovery In 1888, Johannes Rydberg discovered an empirical formula to estimate the wavelengths of known and unknown spectral lines of the hydrogen atomic spectrum. Overview The Rydberg formula served as a generalization to the Balmer formula. It restored the Balmer formula to extend it to all spectral line series of the hydrogen spectrum. Importance The Rydberg formula helps measure the wavelengths of hydrogen spectral lines in addition to atomic spectral emissions of single electron species.
