Question Number 15906 by Tinkutara last updated on 15/Jun/17

If λ_1  and λ_2  are respectively the  wavelengths of the series limit of Lyman  and Balmer series of Hydrogen atom,  then the wavelength of the first line of  the Lyman series of the H-atom is  (1) λ_1  − λ_2   (2) (√(λ_1 λ_2 ))  (3) ((λ_2  − λ_1 )/(λ_1 λ_2 ))  (4) ((λ_1 λ_2 )/(λ_2  − λ_1 ))

 (1/λ_1 )=R ,  (1/λ_2 )=R/4   ,  (1/λ_(L1) )= ((3R)/4)    As  ((3R)/4) = R−(R/4)              (1/λ_(L1) )= (1/λ_1 )−(1/λ_2 )  ⇒     λ_(L1) = ((λ_1 λ_2 )/(λ_2 −λ_1 )) .   option (4).

$$\:\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\lambda_{\mathrm{1}} }={R}\:,\:\:\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\lambda_{\mathrm{2}} }={R}/\mathrm{4}\:\:\:,\:\:\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\lambda_{{L}\mathrm{1}} }=\:\frac{\mathrm{3}{R}}{\mathrm{4}} \\ $$$$\:\:{As}\:\:\frac{\mathrm{3}{R}}{\mathrm{4}}\:=\:{R}−\frac{{R}}{\mathrm{4}} \\ $$$$\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\lambda_{{L}\mathrm{1}} }=\:\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\lambda_{\mathrm{1}} }−\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\lambda_{\mathrm{2}} } \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\:\:\:\:\:\lambda_{{L}\mathrm{1}} =\:\frac{\lambda_{\mathrm{1}} \lambda_{\mathrm{2}} }{\lambda_{\mathrm{2}} −\lambda_{\mathrm{1}} }\:.\:\:\:{option}\:\left(\mathrm{4}\right). \\ $$
