Q158 / 160 · AP EAMCET 2021 (20 Aug Shift 2) · Physics
The wavelength of the first spectral line of the Lyman series of hydrogen spectrum is
- A
- Correct answerB
- C
- D
Solution
where,
Rydbergs constant (Also written is )
atomic number
Since the question is asking for line of Lyman series therefore
Since the electron is de-exited from exited sate to ground sate for first line of Lyman series.
Since the atomic number of Hydrogen is
By doing the math, we get the wavelength as
Since
therefore
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
