Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(82258 \mathrm{~cm}^{-1}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\begin{aligned} & \overline{\mathrm{V}}=\mathrm{R}_{\mathrm{H}}\left(\frac{1}{\mathrm{n}_1^2}-\frac{1}{\mathrm{n}_2^2}\right) \\ & =109677\left(\frac{1}{1^2}-\frac{1}{2^2}\right) \\ & =82,257.75 \mathrm{~cm}^{-1}\end{aligned}\)
