Find Lambda Values for Tan[Lambda] == -([Lambda]/h) and e.g. h = 0.5

the first 10 Lambda Values for h = 0.5 are

In[27]:=Lambda =

Out[27]= {1.837, 4.816, 7.917, 11.04, 14.17, 17.31, 20.44, 23.58, 26.72, 
29.86}

My solution requires
1)  FindRoot for a wide range of starting (ending) values
2)  Eliminate the great number of double real solutions
3)  Verify solutions, there are "some" wrong values

Is there a more direct way to the correct lambda values?


E.F.
