The visible emission spectrum of hydrogen is just 4 lines, with one of the lines (the red one) apart from the other 3
These lines are the wavelengths of EMR emitted by the electrons of the hydrogen atoms when they dropped from a higher energy state to a lower energy state.
Because the EMR was emitted in distinct wavelengths instead of all over the place, this showed that their were only specified energy states (stationary states) which the electrons could occupy. This means that the energy levels in atoms are quantised and thus you have the bohr model and eventually the modern model of the atom
