If the wavelength of the first member of Lyman series of hydrogen is λ\lambda. The wavelength of the second member will be

Options

  1. A2732λ\dfrac{27}{32}\lambda
  2. B3227λ\dfrac{32}{27}\lambda
  3. C275λ\dfrac{27}{5}\lambda
  4. D527λ\dfrac{5}{27}\lambda

Correct answer

A. 2732λ\dfrac{27}{32}\lambda

Step-by-step solution

For Lyman series:

For first member, 1λ=13.6Z2hc[112−122]\dfrac{1}{\lambda} = \dfrac{13 . 6{Z}^{2}}{hc}\left[\dfrac{1}{{1}^{2}} - \dfrac{1}{{2}^{2}}\right] ….. (i)

For second member, 1λ′=13.6Z2hc[112−132]\dfrac{1}{\lambda '} = \dfrac{13 . 6{Z}^{2}}{hc}\left[\dfrac{1}{{1}^{2}} - \dfrac{1}{{3}^{2}}\right] ….. (ii)

On dividing (i) and (ii), we get

λ′=2732λ\lambda ' = \dfrac{27}{32}\lambda
