  1. A \(4864 Å\)
  2. B \(1025.5 Å\)
  3. C \(6563 Å\)
  4. D \(6400 Å\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(6563 Å\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

From hydrogen spectrum, when electron transist from \(n_2\) orbit to \(n_1\) orbit, the emitted wavelength is given by the formula \(\frac{1}{\lambda_L}=R Z^2\left(\frac{1}{n_1^2}-\frac{1}{n_2^2}\right)\) Here, \(R=\) Rydberg constant. For Lyman series, \(n_1=1, n_2=2\) For…
