  1. A \(256\)
  2. B \(540\)
  3. C \(486\)
  4. D \(626\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(486\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

For Balmer series. \(\frac{1}{\lambda}=\mathrm{R}_{\mathrm{H}}\left(\frac{1}{2^{2}}-\frac{1}{\mathrm{n}_{2}^{2}}\right)\) \(\frac{\lambda_{2}}{\lambda_{1}}=\frac{\left(\frac{1}{2^{2}}-\frac{1}{3^{2}}\right)}{\left(\frac{1}{2^{2}}-\frac{1}{4^{2}}\right)}\)…
