JEE Mains · Chemistry · STD 11 - 2. structure of atom

The ratio of the shortest wavelength of two spectral series of hydrogen spectrum is found to be about \(9\). The spectral series are

  1. A Lyman and Paschen
  2. B Brackett and Pfund
  3. C Paschen and Pfund
  4. D Balmer and Brackett
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) Lyman and Paschen

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\frac{{\frac{1}{{{\lambda _2}}} = {R_H}\left( {\frac{1}{{n_1^2}} - \frac{1}{{n_2^2}}} \right){Z^2}}}{{\frac{1}{{{\lambda _1}}} = {R_H}\left( {\frac{1}{{n_1^2}} - \frac{1}{{n_2^2}}} \right){Z^2}}}\) As for shortest wavelength both \(n_1\) and \(n_2^1\) are \(\infty \)…
