Question
Calculate the minimum wavelength of the spectral line present in Balmer series of hydrogen
Solution
`1/lambda = R[1/n_1^2 - 1/n_2^2]`
`1/lambda = R [1/2^2 - 1/prop^2]`
`:. 1/lambda = R/4`
`lamda = 4/R`
`lambda = 4/(10.97 xx 10^6) = 0.37 xx 10^(-6)`
`lambda = 3700Å`

A spectroscopic instrument can resolve two nearby wavelengths λ and λ + Δλ if λ/Δλ is smaller than 8000. This is used to study the spectral lines of the Balmer series of hydrogen. Approximately how many lines will be resolved by the instrument?
Hydrogen spectrum consists of discrete bright lines in a dark background and it is specifically known as hydrogen emission spectrum. There is one more type of hydrogen spectrum that exists where we get dark lines on the bright background, it is known as absorption spectrum. Balmer found an empirical formula by the observation of a small part of this spectrum and it is represented by
