The wavelength of first line of Balmer series is 6563Å. The wavelength of first line of Lyman series will be
Options
(a) 1215.4Å
(b) 2500Å
(c) 7500Å
(d) 600Å
Correct Answer:
1215.4Å
Explanation:
λ(ʟyman) / λ(вalmer) = [(1/2²) – (1/3²)] / [(1/1²) – (1/2)²] = 5 / 27
λ(ʟyman) = (5 / 27) × λ(вalmer) = (5 / 27) × 6563 = 1215.4 Å
