RydbergSerien
RydbergSerien, often translated as the Rydberg series, is a set of spectral lines in the emission spectrum of hydrogen. These lines correspond to electron transitions within the hydrogen atom that end at a specific energy level, the ground state, denoted by n=1. When an electron in a hydrogen atom jumps from a higher energy level (n > 1) down to the n=1 level, it emits a photon with a specific wavelength, creating a line in the spectrum. These lines are part of the ultraviolet region of the electromagnetic spectrum.
The wavelengths of the spectral lines in the Rydberg series can be accurately predicted using the Rydberg
The discovery and understanding of the Rydberg series were crucial steps in the development of atomic physics.
