The second line of Balmer series has wavelength \(4861 Å\). The wavelength of the first line of Balmer series is

  1. A \(1216 Å\)
  2. B \(6563 Å\)
  3. C \(4340 Å\)
  4. D \(4101 Å\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(6563 Å\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Wavelength of the second line of Balmer series, \(\lambda_2=4861 Å\) \(\frac{1}{\lambda_2}=R\left(\frac{1}{2^2}-\frac{1}{n^2}\right)\) For second line, \(n=4\)…
