Which is the shortest wavelength line in the Lyman series of the hydrogen spectrum?
Options
- A94.21 nm
- B91.16 nm
- C911.6 nm
- D933.6 nm
Correct answer
B. 91.16 nm
Step-by-step solution
For Lyman series, \left(\frac{1}{(1)^2}-\frac{1}{n^2}\right)\lambdan\infty\therefore \quad \frac{1}{\lambda_{\min }}=1.097 \times 10^{-2}\left(1-\frac{1}{\infty^2}\right)
