Which of the following statement(s) is (are) correct about the spectrum of hydrogen atom?
Options
- AThe ratio of the longest wavelength to the shortest wavelength in Balmer series is .
- BThere is an overlap between the wavelength ranges of Balmer and Paschen series.
- CThe wavelengths of Lyman series are given by , where is the shortest wavelength of Lyman series and is an integer.
- DThe wavelength ranges of Lyman and Balmer series do not overlap.
Correct answer
A. The ratio of the longest wavelength to the shortest wavelength in Balmer series is .
Step-by-step solution
For Balmer Series:
Shortest wavelength,
Longest wavelength, \left(\dfrac{{E}_{o}}{4} - \dfrac{{E}_{0}}{9}\right) = \dfrac{hc}{{\lambda}_{l}} = \dfrac{5{E}_{o}}{36}∴ \dfrac{{\lambda}_{l}}{{\lambda}_{s}} = \dfrac{9}{5}
Range of energy level in Paschen series,
\left(\dfrac{7{E}_{0}}{144}, \dfrac{{E}_{0}}{9}\right){E}_{0} = \dfrac{hc}{{\lambda}_{0}}
or
as should be an integer.
Range of energy level in Lyman series, \left(\dfrac{3{E}_{0}}{4}, {E}_{0}\right)⇒ Lyman and Balmer series wavelengths do not overlap.
