The hydrogen spectrum consists of several spectral lines in Lyman series (, has lowest energy among Lyman series). Similarly it consists of several spectral lines in Balmer series has lowest energy among Balmer lines). The energy of is times the energy of . The value of is . (Nearest integer)
Correct answer
0
Step-by-step solution
The energy of a spectral line in the hydrogen spectrum is given by eV.
For the Lyman series, the lowest energy line corresponds to the transition from to .
eV.
For the Balmer series, the lowest energy line corresponds to the transition from to .
eV.
Given , we have:
The value of is .
Comparing with the required format , the integer is 54.
