Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 485.9 nm and 364.4 nm

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

According to H-spectrum; Rydberg formula \(\Rightarrow \frac{1}{\lambda}=R_{\mathrm{H}}\left(\frac{1}{n_1^2}-\frac{1}{n_2^2}\right)\) For first line, \(n_1=2, n_2=3\) (Balmer series) \(\lambda=656 \mathrm{~nm}\)…
