In a lab, our class looked at a hydrogen lamp and calculated the wavelengths of the color red, blue and green. I needed to verify that only Balmer lines are visible using the equation:
1/lambda=R(1/m^2)-(1/n^2)
It says that R is Rydbergs constant and I need to find n. It says that m is the proper value for the Balmer series. What is m supposed to be?
