Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 2

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Lyman series of \(\mathrm{H}\)-atom, we can write \(\frac{h c}{\lambda}=R h c\left(\frac{1}{1^2}-\frac{1}{2^2}\right)\) where, symbols have their usual meaning and for second line of Balmer series of \(\mathrm{H}\)-like ion…
