The emergence of line spectra from a gas when
a current passes through it was an observed
phenomenon waiting for an explanation in the
early 20th century. The atomic line spectra
coming from elements such as hydrogen had
been analyzed since the late 19th century. By
studying the wavelength of the emerging
radiation of hydrogen, experimenters found
(often by trial and error) that the wavelengths in
those spectra were described by the formula
1 = R ( 1/2 - 1/2 )
where R is known as the Rydberg constant. It
has a value of R=1.097 × 107 m-¹. The
variables n₁ and no are integer numbers
(n₁ = 1, 2, 3, 4, ...). As experiments
continued, scientists began to see more and
more characteristic lines emerging from the
hydrogen spectrum. Each of them corresponded
to a wavelength predicted by this formula with
some integer values for m₁ and ₂.
In 1913, Niels Bohr provided an explanation for
the observations made in experiments by
proposing that each electron in an atom had
only certain allowable…
