Options:

A) $ \frac{5A}{9} $

B) $ \frac{36A}{7} $

C) $ \frac{36A}{5} $

D) $ \frac{9A}{5} $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

  • Shortest wavelength is corresponding to best ine
    $ \therefore $ $ n _{L}=1 $ (Lyman series) $ n _{H}=\infty $ (infinite) $ \frac{1}{A}=r\times {{(1)}^{2}}{ \frac{1}{12}-\frac{1}{2} }=R $ Longest wavelength $ \equiv $ 1st Line
    $ \therefore $ = 3 $ n _{H}=4 $ $ \frac{1}{\lambda }=r\times {{(2)}^{2}}{ \frac{1}{3^{2}}-\frac{1}{4^{2}} }=\frac{r\times 7}{36} $ $ \lambda =\frac{36A}{7} $
