The ratio of the wavelengths of the first Lyman line and the second Balmer line of hydrogen atom is

  1. A \(3: 4\)
  2. B \(1: 4\)
  3. C \(2: 3\)
  4. D \(1: 3\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(1: 4\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( \frac{1}{\lambda_L} = R \left( \frac{1}{1^2} - \frac{1}{2^2} \right) = R \frac{3}{4} \Rightarrow \lambda_L = \frac{4}{3R} \)…
