Rydberg calculates the wavelength of a spectrum line in the hydrogen emission spectrum.
Rydberg formula was first stated in 1888 by Physicist Johannes Rydberg.
Rydberg’s anticipation that spectral studies could assist in a theoretical understanding of the atom and its chemical properties was justified in 1913 by the work of Neils Bohr.
