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

The wave numbers of three spectral lines of H atom are considered. Identify the set of spectral lines belonging to Balmer series. (R = Rydberg constant)

  1. A \( \frac{5R}{36}, \frac{3R}{16}, \frac{21R}{100} \)
  2. B \( \frac{5R}{36}, \frac{8R}{9}, \frac{15R}{16} \)
  3. C \( \frac{7R}{144}, \frac{3R}{16}, \frac{16R}{255} \)
  4. D \( \frac{3R}{4}, \frac{3R}{16}, \frac{7R}{144} \)

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \( \frac{5R}{36}, \frac{3R}{16}, \frac{21R}{100} \)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Balmer series line \(\Rightarrow \bar{v}= R _{ H } z ^2\left[\frac{1}{2^2}-\frac{1}{ n ^2}\right]\) if \(n=3 \Rightarrow \bar{v}=R(1)^2\left[\frac{1}{2^2}-\frac{1}{3^2}\right]=\frac{5 R}{36}\) if \(n=4 \Rightarrow \bar{v}=\frac{3 R}{16}\) if…
