  1. A Second line of Balmer series
  2. B First line of Balmer series
  3. C First line P fund series
  4. D Second line of Paschen series
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) Second line of Balmer series

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The wavelength of line in case of Balmer series is given by
1λ=R122-1n2 , where n = 3, 4, 5…
and R = Rydberg constant
So, for Balmer series, the transition takes from third orbit to second for first line spectrum, fourth orbit to second for second line spectrum and so on. Hence, given transition represents second line of Balmer series.
