Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A

we know that `(1)/(lambda) = RZ^(2) [(1)/(n_(1)^(2)) - (1)./(n_(2)^(2))]
The wave length of spectal line in the balmar series of hydrogen atom is `6561Å` Here n_(2) = 3 and n_(1) = 2 `
` :. (1)/(6561) = R(1)^(2) ((1)/(4) - (1)/(9)) = (5R)/(36) ` ....(i)
For the second spectral line is the balmer of singly ionised belium ion `n_(2) = 4 and n_(1) = 2 , Z = 2 `
`:. (1)/(lambda) = R(2)^(2) [(1)/(4) - (1)/(16)] = (3R)/(4) `....(ii)
Dividingh equation (i) and equqtion (ii() we get
`(lambda)./(6561) = (5R)/(36) xx (4)/(3R) = (5)/(27)`
` :,. lambda= 1215 Å`
