energies associated with transsitions from the various energy lev-els of the hydrogen atom. The relation, simple enough as it is, turns out to accurately predict the spectral lines. The equation relating the wavelength (and thus energy via E= h ) associated with a transition from a state n1 to another tate nis given by: 1 = RRydberg 1 n2 1 1 n2
