  1. A 912 
  2. B 1215 
  3. C 1512 
  4. D 6563 
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 1215 

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

1λ=R1n12−1n22⋅Z2 where, R= Rydbergs constant (Also written is RH) Z= atomic number Since the question is asking for 1st line of Lyman series therefore n1=1 n2=2 Since the electron is de-exited from 1st exited sate i.e.n=2 to ground sate i.e.n=1 for first line of…
