If Rydberg's constant is \(R\), the longest wavelength of radiation in Paschen series will be \(\frac{\alpha}{7 R}\), where \(\alpha=\)____________
Pick an option to check your answer.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) \(144\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Longest wavelength corresponds to transition between \(n=3\) and \(n=4\)
\( \frac{1}{\lambda}=R Z^2\left(\frac{1}{3^2}-\frac{1}{4^2}\right)=R Z^2\left(\frac{1}{9}-\frac{1}{16}\right) \)
\( =\frac{7 R Z^2}{9 \times 16} \)
\( \Rightarrow \lambda=\frac{144}{7 R} \text { for } Z=1 \quad \therefore \alpha=144\)
