Q32.For any given series of spectral lines of atomic hydrogen, let Δ−v = −v max −−v min be the difference in maximum and minimum wave number in cm−1 . The ratio Δ−v Lyman/Δ−v Balmar is (1) 5 : 4 (2) 27 : 5 (3) 4 : 1 (4) 9 : 4

What This Question Tests

This question tests the understanding of the Rydberg formula for hydrogen spectral lines and the ability to calculate maximum and minimum wave numbers for different series to determine their difference.

Concepts Tested

Rydberg formulaWave numberSpectral series (Lyman, Balmer)

Formulas Used
