Q142 / 200 · NEET 2023 (All India) · Physics
In hydrogen spectrum, the shortest wavelength in the Balmer series is. The shortest wavelength in the Brackett series is :
- A
- B
- Correct answerC
- D
Solution
Shortest wavelength means maximum energy in transition.
Therefore for Balmer series transition would be and for Brackett series transition would be from .
Now from Rydberg's formula,
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
