The ratio of wavelengths of the last line of Balmer series and the last line of Lyman series is :-
-
- 1
- 4
- 0.5
- 2
Correct Option: B
For last line of Balmer series :
n1 = 2 and n2 = ∞
= RZ2 | - | = R21 | - | |||||||||
λB | n21 | n22 | 22 | ∞2 |
λB = | ...........(i) | R |
For last line of Lyman series : n1 = 1 and n2 = ∞
= RZ2 | - | = RZ2 | - | |||||||||
λL | n21 | n22 | 12 | ∞2 |
λL = | ...........(ii) | R |
Dividing equation (i) by (ii)
= | |||
λB | |||
λL | |||
R |
Ratio of wavelengths is
= 4 | λL |
