What is the maximum wavelength of line of Balmer series of hydrogen spectrum? (R=1.09 10^7 ~m ⁻¹ )
Options
- A400 ~nm
- B660 ~nm
- C486 ~nm
- D434 ~nm
Correct answer
B. 660 ~nm
Step-by-step solution
For maximum wavelength in the Balmer series, n₂=3 and n₁=2 . aligned 1 & =1.09 10^7 1^2 ( 1 2^2 - 1 3^2 ) 1 & =1.09 10^7 1 ( 1 4 - 1 9 ) & =1.09 10^7 1 ( 5 36 ) & = 36 5 1.09 10^7 ~m & =6.60 10⁻⁷ ~m =660 ~nm aligned
