Question

calculate the energy of spectral line of shortest wavelength in Balmer series​

Answer 1

Answer:

Obviously, if any pattern could be discerned in the spectral lines for a specifc atom (in contract to the mixture that Fraunhofer lines represent), that might be a clue as to the internal structure of the atom. One might be able to build a model. A great deal of effort went into analyzing the spectral data from the 1860's on. The big breakthrough was made by Johann Balmer, a math and Latin teacher at a girls' school in Basel, Switzerland. Balmer had done no physics before, and made his great discovery when he was almost sixty
