Rydberg's 1888 classical expression for the form of the spectral series was not accompanied by a physical explanation.

The spectral series are important in astronomical spectroscopy for detecting the presence of hydrogen and calculating red shifts.

Each element or molecule displays a characteristic set of spectral lines, such as the hydrogen spectral series.

Bohr's predictions matched experiments measuring the hydrogen spectral series to the first order, giving more confidence to a theory that used quantized values.

Literature is not reduced to a spectral series of disembodied texts, but is seen to be a point of mediation in a developing dialectical process.

Spectral series (Hiro)

The hydrogen spectral series in particular was first successfully explained by the Rutherford-Bohr quantum model of the hydrogen atom.

Neither the non-relativistic nor relativistic equations found by Schrödinger could predict the fine structure in the Hydrogen spectral series.

The emission spectrum of atomic hydrogen is divided into a number of the spectral series, with wavelengths given by the Rydberg formula.

Some systematic trends in the calculated oscillator strengths were found along the spectral series as well as along the sequence of homologous ions.

Describe the atomic spectrum of hydrogen, the search for explanations and the discovery of the (empirical) Rydberg formula for spectral series.

The Bohr model explains the atomic spectrum of hydrogen (see hydrogen spectral series) as well as various other atoms and ions.

Other hydrogen spectral series also show bound-free absorption and hence a continuum discontinuity, but the Balmer jump in the near UV has been the most observed.

The ultimate goal of this endeavour is to test CPT symmetry through comparison of the atomic spectra of hydrogen and antihydrogen (see hydrogen spectral series).

Spectral Gene is an SRPG for the PlayStation 2, and is the next installment in Idea Factory's Spectral series.

At cryogenic temperatures, many higher excitonic levels can be observed approaching the edge of the band, forming a series of spectral absorption lines that are in principle similar to hydrogen spectral series.

The constant first arose as an empirical fitting parameter in the Rydberg formula for the hydrogen spectral series, but Niels Bohr later showed that its value could be calculated from more fundamental constants, explaining the relationship via his "Bohr model".

Ritz's pre-quantum 1908 explanation for the mechanism underlying the spectral series was that atomic electrons behaved like magnets and that the magnets could vibrate with respect to the atomic nucleus (at least temporarily) to produce electromagnetic radiation, but this theory was superseded in 1913 by Niels Bohr's model of the atom.
