Answer:
Correct Answer: 22. (d)
Solution:
- (d) For first line of Lyman series of hydrogen $\frac{hc}{\lambda_1}=Rhc(\frac{1}{1^{2}}-\frac{1}{2^{2}})$
For second line of Balmer series of hydrogen like ion
$\frac{hc}{\lambda_2}=Z^{2} Rhc(\frac{1}{2^{2}}-\frac{1}{4^{2}})$
By question, $\lambda_1=\lambda_2$
$\Rightarrow(\frac{1}{1}-\frac{1}{2})=Z^{2}(\frac{1}{4}-\frac{1}{16})$ or $Z=2$
