The shortest wavelength present in the Lyman series of spectral lines is : (Given Rydberg constant \( R = 1.097 \times 10^7 \text{ m}^{-1} \))

  1. A \( 9.1 \times 10^{-8} \text{ m} \)
  2. B \( 1.2 \times 10^{-7} \text{ m} \)
  3. C \( 8.2 \times 10^7 \text{ m} \)
  4. D \( 9.1 \times 10^8 \text{ m} \)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \( 9.1 \times 10^{-8} \text{ m} \)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( \frac{1}{\lambda} = R \left( \frac{1}{n_1^2} - \frac{1}{n_2^2} \right) \) For shortest wavelength in Lyman series: \( n_1 = 1, n_2 = \infty \) \( \frac{1}{\lambda_{min}} = R \left( \frac{1}{1^2} - \frac{1}{\infty^2} \right) = R \)…
