What is the wave number of lowest transition in Balmer series?
Options
- AR _ H ( 36 5 )
- BR _ H ( 5 36 )
- CR _ H ( 21 100 )
- DR _ H ( 100 21 )
Correct answer
B. R _ H ( 5 36 )
Step-by-step solution
The lowest transition in Balmer series is from n ₁=2 and n ₂=3 v = R _ H [ 1 n ₁ ^2 - 1 n ₂^2 ]= R _ H [ 1 2^2 - 1 3^2 ]= R _ H [ 5 36 ]
