The ratio of longest wavelengths of the spectral lines in the Lyman and Balmer series of hydrogen spectrum is

  1. A \(\frac{3}{23}\)
  2. B \(\frac{5}{27}\)
  3. C \(\frac{7}{29}\)
  4. D \(\frac{9}{31}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\frac{7}{29}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The longest wavelength for Lyman series \((2 \rightarrow 1)\) \(\frac{1}{\lambda_{\mathrm{L}}}=\mathrm{R}\left(\frac{1}{(1)^2}-\frac{1}{(2)^2}\right)=\frac{3}{4} \mathrm{R}\) And for Balmer series \((3 \rightarrow 2)\)…
