If the difference in the frequencies of the first and second lines of Lyman series of hydrogen atom is \(f\), then the difference in frequencies of the first and second lines of Balmer series of hydrogen atom is

  1. A \(\frac{3 \mathrm{f}}{4}\)
  2. B f
  3. C \(\frac{7 \mathrm{f}}{20}\)
  4. D \(\frac{9 \mathrm{f}}{16}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\frac{7 \mathrm{f}}{20}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(f = R_H c \left( \frac{1}{1^2} - \frac{1}{3^2} \right) - R_H c \left( \frac{1}{1^2} - \frac{1}{2^2} \right)\) \(f = R_H c \left( \frac{8}{9} - \frac{3}{4} \right) = R_H c \left( \frac{32-27}{36} \right) = \frac{5 R_H c}{36}\)…
