Atoms And Nuclei Question 325

Question: If the series limit wavelength of Lyman series for the hydrogen atom is $ 912\overset{o}{\mathop{A}}, $ , then the series limit wavelength for Balmer series of hydrogen atoms is

Options:

A) $ 912\overset{o}{\mathop{A}}, $

B) $ 912\times 2\overset{o}{\mathop{A}}, $

C) $ 912\times 4\overset{o}{\mathop{A}}, $

D) $ \frac{912}{2}\overset{o}{\mathop{A}}, $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

  • $ \frac{1}{\lambda }=R[ \frac{1}{n_{1}^{2}}-\frac{1}{n_{2}^{2}} ] $

For limiting wavelength of Lyman series $ n_{1}=1,,n_{2}=\infty \frac{1}{{\lambda_{L}}=R} $

For limiting wavelength of Balmer series $ n_{1}=1,n_{2}=\infty $

$ \frac{1}{{\lambda_{B}}}=R( \frac{1}{4} )\Rightarrow {\lambda_{B}}=\frac{4}{R} $
$ \therefore {\lambda_{B}}=4{\lambda_{1}}=4\times 912\overset{o}{\mathop{A}},. $
