WHAT DOES BALMER SERIES MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Balmer series

Balmer series

The Balmer series or Balmer lines in atomic physics, is the designation of one of a set of six different named series describing the spectral line emissions of the hydrogen atom. The Balmer series is calculated using the Balmer formula, an empirical equation discovered by Johann Balmer in 1885. The visible spectrum of light from hydrogen displays four wavelengths, 410 nm, 434 nm, 486 nm, and 656 nm, that correspond to emissions of photons by electrons in excited states transitioning to the quantum level described by the principal quantum number n equals 2. There are also a number of ultraviolet Balmer lines with wavelengths shorter than 400 nm.

Definition of Balmer series in the English dictionary

The definition of Balmer series in the dictionary is a series of lines in the hydrogen spectrum, discovered by Johann Jakob Balmer in 1885.
