- Where is the lower energy level and is
- the higher. The Lyman Series is a series of
- emissions that have =1. The Balmer Series is
- a series of emissions that have =2.
- Since the equation gives the value of the
- frequency of the released photon, the wavelength
- of the photon can also be found using
-
- (3) c=ln.

- These calculations apply only to the Bohr
- model of the hydrogen atom. Bohr based his
- work on the assumption of circular orbits for
- the electron in the hydrogen atom. In addition,
- he did not consider other elements of the
- periodic table. The model does not apply to
- other elements of the periodic table since
- interactions between electrons were not
- considered in the calculations. The model is
- important because of the concepts it describes.
