Taking the wavelength of first Balmer line in hydrogen spectrum (\( n = 3\) to \(n = 2\) ) as \(660\,nm ,\) the wavelength of the \(2^{nd}\) Balmer line ( \(n =4\) to \(n = 2\) ) will be....\(nm\)

  1. A \(889.2\)
  2. B \(642.7\)
  3. C \(448.9\)
  4. D \(388.9\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(448.9\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\frac{1}{660}=R\left(\frac{1}{2^{2}}-\frac{1}{3^{2}}\right)=\frac{5 R}{36}\) .... \((1)\) \(\frac{1}{\lambda}=R\left(\frac{1}{2^{2}}-\frac{1}{4^{2}}\right)=\frac{3 \mathrm{R}}{16}\) .... \((2)\) Divide equation \((1)\) with \((\mathrm{2})\)…
