Balmer α (Hα) line

Set n_i→n_f — the emission line colour matches λ from the Rydberg formula.

Observe the Balmer-alpha hydrogen emission line from an atomic electron transition. Explore the Bohr model and discrete atomic spectra.

Open the interactive simulation to build the scene, press Play, and explore with live measurements and a guided tutorial.
