Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(6587\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Lyman Series Shortest, \(\frac{\mathrm{hc}}{\lambda}=-13.6\left(\frac{1}{\mathrm{n}_1^2}-\frac{1}{\mathrm{n}_2^2}\right)\) \(\lambda \downarrow \mathrm{E} \uparrow ; \frac{\mathrm{hc}}{\lambda_0}=-13.6(1)\) Balmer Series: \(\mathrm{n}=3\) \(\mathrm{n}=2\)…
