Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 5 : 27

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

(a) \(\because\) Wave number \((v)=R \cdot Z^2\left\lceil\frac{1}{n_{\mathrm{L}^2}}-\frac{1}{n_{\mathrm{H}^2}}\right\rfloor\) Wave number for lowest energy for Balmer series \(\left(n_{\mathrm{L}}=2, n_{\mathrm{H}}=3\right)\)…
