History of the Balmer series
Smelting of ores Since 1550s, the atomic
emission spectra started
with the smelting of ores
Prism
Solar spectrum
In 1666, Sir Isaac Newton used a prism to obtain the solar spectrum.
Diffraction grating
Dark solar bands
Fraunhofer observed
some dark bands in the
solar absorption spectrum
with his diffraction grating
technique.


In 1885, Jakob Balmer
discovered an empirical
equation to calculate the
wavelengths of hydrogen
emission lines in the
visible region of the
hydrogen spectrum. And it
is termed the Balmer
formula.
