If the series limit wavelength of the Lyman series of hydrogen atom is 912 Å , then the series limit wavelength of the Balmer series of the hydrogen atom is
Options
- A912 Å
- B1824 Å
- C3648 Å
- D456 Å
Correct answer
C. 3648 Å
Step-by-step solution
For series limit of Balmer series, n 2 = 2 ,   n 1 = ∞ 1 λ = R 1 n 2 2 - 1 n 1 2 = 1 2 2 - 1 ∞ 2 = R 4 ∴ λ = 4 R = 4 10967800   m = 4 × 912 × 10 - 10   m = 3648   Å
