Hydrogen Spectrum Series

### Formula:

$$\frac{1}{\lambda}=R_H\left(\frac{1}{n_1^2}-\frac{1}{n_2^2}\right)$$

### Terminologies:

- Ξ» β†’ Wavelength of emitted radiation.

- $$R_H$$ β†’ Rydberg constant.

- $$n_1$$ β†’ Lower energy level.

- $$n_2$$ β†’ Higher energy level.

- Spectrum β†’ Arrangement of electromagnetic radiations according to wavelength or frequency.

### Usage:

- Used to calculate wavelength of spectral lines in different hydrogen series.
