The largest wavelength in the ultraviolet region of the hydrogen spectrum is 122 nm122 \mathrm{~nm}. The smallest wavelength in the infrared region of the hydrogen spectrum (to the nearest integer) is

Options

  1. A802 nm802 \mathrm{~nm}
  2. B823 nm823 \mathrm{~nm}
  3. C1882 nm1882 \mathrm{~nm}
  4. D1648 nm1648 \mathrm{~nm}

Correct answer

B. 823 nm823 \mathrm{~nm}

Step-by-step solution

The series in U−VU-V region is Lymen series. Longest wavelength corresponds to minimum energy which occurs in transition from n=2n=2 to n=1n=1. \therefore \quad 122=1R(112−122)\frac{\frac{1}{R}}{\left(\frac{1}{1^2}-\frac{1}{2^2}\right)}The smallest wavelength in the infrared region corresponds to maximum energy of Paschen series. \lambda=1R(132−1∞)\frac{\frac{1}{R}}{\left(\frac{1}{3^2}-\frac{1}{\infty}\right)}Solving Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get ∴\therefore Correct option is (b). \lambda=823.5  nm\mathrm{~nm}
