Q.

If 917 Å be the lowest wavelength of Lyman series then the lowest wavelength of Balmer series will be _________ Å.                [2023]


Ans.

(3668)

For lowest wavelength of Lyman series,    1λ=RZ2[112-12]=RZ2

For lowest wavelength of Balmer series,    1λ'=RZ2[122-12]=RZ24

λ'=4RZ2=4×917=3668 Å
