If λ 1 and λ 2 are the wavelengths of the third member of Lyman and first member of the Paschen series respectively, then the value of λ 1 : λ 2 is :
Options
- A7 : 135
- B1 : 9
- C1 : 3
- D7 : 108
Correct answer
A. 7 : 135
Step-by-step solution
1 λ 1 = R 1 1 2 - 1 4 2 1 λ 2 = R 1 3 2 - 1 4 2 λ 1 λ 2 = 1 9 - 1 16 1 - 1 16 = 7 9 × 15 λ 1 λ 2 = 7 135
