Problem 6.28
For the case of atomic hydrogen find: (a) the wavelengths of the first three lines of the Balmer series; (b) the minimum resolving power \(\lambda / \delta \lambda\) of a spectral instrument capable of resolving the first 20 lines of the Balmer series.
(a) 657,487 and \(434 \mathrm{nm} ;\) (b) \(\lambda / \delta \lambda \approx 1.5 \cdot 10^{3}\)
