  1. A 4 : 3
  2. B 9 : 8
  3. C 27 : 5
  4. D 16 : 5
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 4 : 3

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

According to the question, For Lyman series, n1=1. For shortest wavelength in Lyman series (i.e., series limit), the energy difference in two states showing transition should be maximum, i.e.,n2=∞. So. 1λ=RH [112-2∞2] λ= 1109678=9.117x10-6cm…
