From Balmer's lines to Bohr's model

The discoveries of Johann Balmer and Niels Bohr marked a turning point in our understanding of atomic structure. Balmer's formula made it possible to describe the visible spectral lines of hydrogen, paving the way for more profound theories. Bohr, with his quantized atomic model, explained these lines in terms of electronic transitions between defined energy levels. These advances laid the foundations of quantum mechanics and led to a better understanding of the discrete nature of matter at the atomic scale. Their influence extends beyond atomic theory, impacting modern technologies such as lasers, magnetic resonance and semiconductors. These discoveries continue to shape quantum physics research and pave the way for future technologies, such as quantum computing. Bohr and Balmer's work remains essential to our understanding of the subatomic universe, and continues to influence rapidly evolving fields of science and technology.
