Hydrogen Atom and Hydrogen Molecule The observed wavelengths in the line spectrum of hydrogen atom were first expressed in terms of a series by johann Jakob Balmer, a Swiss teacher. Balmer's empirical empirical formula is 1/lambda=R_(H)(1/2^(2)-1/n^(2)),"" N=3, 4, 5 R_(H)=(Me e^(4))/(8 epsilon_(0)^(2)h^(3) c)=109. 678 cm^(-1) Here, R_(H) is the Rydberg Constant, m_(e) is the mass of electron. Niels Bohr derived this expression theoretically in 1913. The formula is easily generalized to any one electron atom//ion. From the given data, calculate the energy change for the process H^(-) rarr H+e^(-)
