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....\(nm\)
Pick an option to check your answer.
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 \((\mathrm{2})\)
\(\frac{\lambda}{660}=\frac{5 \times 16}{36 \times 3}\)
\(\lambda=\frac{4400}{9}=488.88=488.9\, \mathrm{nm}\)
