According to the rydberg equation, the line with the shortest wavelength in the emission spectrum of atomic hydrogen is predicted to lie at a wavelength (in nm) of

It is predicted to lie at a wavelength of 91.2 nm.
Rydberg equation is a mathematical formula that is used to predicts the wavelength of light resulting from an electron moving between energy levels of an atom. Rydbery equation is used to describe the spectral wavelengths of chemical elements. The equation is made up of different components, which include n1 and n2. The n1 of the equation has a value of 1 while the n2 runs from 2 to infinity; this makes the spectral lines to converge at point 91.2 nm.
