The energy of electron in the nth orbit of hydrogen atom is expressed as E _ n = -13.6 n ² eV . The shortest and longest wavelength of Lyman series will be
Options
- A910 Ã, 1213 Ã
- B5463 Ã, 7858 Ã
- C1315 Ã, 1530 Ã
- DNone of these
Correct answer
A. 910 Ã, 1213 Ã
Step-by-step solution
1 _ = R [ 1 ( l )² - 1 (2)² ] _ max = 4 3 R 1213 Ã… and 1 _ = R [ 1 (1)² - 1 ] _ = 1 R 910 Ã…
