Write your solutions very clear and detailed.
Niels Bohr developed equations to explain atomic structure.
my case study should use one of his equations (any equation you choose that is connected to the contribution of the atomic structure ) and substitute in real values to get an answer.
and use the hydrogen spectrum but substitute everything with real numbers to prove that he was correct.
Calculate the wavelength with actual numbers as well.
The ratio of the wavelength of the second and the last line of Balmer series of hydrogen atom is
