The shortest wavelength in Lyman series is \(912 Å\). Then, the longest wavelength in the series must be

  1. A \(9120 Å ̊\)
  2. B \(1824 Å\)
  3. C \(1216 Å\)
  4. D \(2432 Å\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(1216 Å\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

For \(\mathrm{H}\)-atom (Lyman series formula) \(\frac{1}{\lambda}=R\left(\frac{1}{1^2}-\frac{1}{n_2^2}\right)\) \(\frac{1}{\lambda}=R\left(\frac{1}{1^2}-\frac{1}{\infty^2}\right) \Rightarrow \frac{1}{912 Å}=R\left(\frac{1}{1}-\frac{1}{\infty}\right)\)…
