Johann Balmer (1825-1898) was a Swiss mathematician known for the Balmer formula, an empirical relation describing visible spectral lines of hydrogen.

Balmer's formula became one of the clues that atomic spectra are quantized. In the Quantum Collection, his name is linked with hydrogen spectra, energy levels, and atomic transitions.
