  2. B \(91.2 \mathrm{~nm}\)
  3. C \(182 \mathrm{~nm}\)
  4. D \(89.2 \mathrm{~nm}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(91.2 \mathrm{~nm}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Sequence of series in hydrogen spectrum are Lyman series \((n=1)\), Balmer series \((n=2)\), Paschen series \((n=3)\), Bracket series \((n=4)\) and Pfund series \((n=5)\). For Lyman series, \(n_1=1\) For shortest wavelength in Lyman series i.e., the energy difference in two…
