The 3→2 transition depicted here produces H-alpha, the first line of the Balmer series. For hydrogen ( Z = 1) this transition results in a photon of wavelength 656 nm (red). The Balmer series is characterized by the electron transitioning from n ≥ 3 to n = 2, where n refers to the radial quantum number or principal quantum number of the ...
Hydrogen-alpha, typically shortened to H-alpha or Hα, is a deep-red visible spectral line of the hydrogen atom with a wavelength of 656.28 nm in air and 656.46 nm in vacuum. It is the first spectral line in the Balmer series and is emitted when an electron falls from a hydrogen atom's third- to second-lowest energy level.
The Balmer series includes the lines due to transitions from an outer orbit n > 2 to the orbit n' = 2. Named after Johann Balmer, who discovered the Balmer formula, an empirical equation to predict the Balmer series, in 1885. Balmer lines are historically referred to as "H-alpha", "H-beta", "H-gamma" and so on, where H is the element hydrogen. [10]
Balmer discontinuity on the observational spectrum of the star Icarus. The jump in this plot appears around 920 nm (instead of the intrinsic 364.5 nm) due to cosmological redshift. Balmer jump of two stars: Epsilon Orionis (O9.7 V) on the top and Beta Tauri (B7 III) on the bottom. The vertical blue line represents the limit of the Balmer series.
where λ is the wavelength of an emitted photon, ν is its frequency, E is the photon energy, h is the Planck constant, and c is the speed of light in a vacuum. In a laboratory setting, the hydrogen line parameters have been more precisely measured as: λ = 21.106 114 054 160 (30) cm ν = 1 420 405 751.768(2) Hz. in a vacuum. [3]

A demonstration of the 589 nm D 2 (left) and 590 nm D 1 (right) emission sodium D lines using a wick with salt water in a flame. The Fraunhofer C, F, G′, and h lines correspond to the alpha, beta, gamma, and delta lines of the Balmer series of emission lines of the hydrogen atom. The Fraunhofer letters are now rarely used for those lines.
