Why distances between lines of hydrogen spectrum decreases even though the distance between the shells of Hydrogen increases as we go to higher shells?
r=Ɛn2h2/πme
where
m=mass of electron,
e=charge on electron
h=planck's constant
n=principle quantum number
r=radius of hydrogen atom
This formula shows that the distance between the shells increases with the increase in Principle Quantum number.
Then why the distances between lines of hydrogen spectrum decreases?
