Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(20564.44 \mathrm{~cm}^{-1}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\begin{aligned} \bar{v} & =109677\left[\frac{1}{2^2}-\frac{1}{4^2}\right] \mathrm{cm}^{-1} \\ & =109677\left[\frac{1}{4}-\frac{1}{16}\right] \mathrm{cm}^{-1} \\ & =109677\left[\frac{12}{64}\right] \mathrm{cm}^{-1} \\ & =20564.44 \mathrm{~cm}^{-1}\end{aligned}\)
