The short wavelength limits of Lyman, Paschen and Balmer series in the hydrogen spectrum are denoted by `lambda_L, lambda_P and lambda_B` respectively. Arrange these wavelength in increasing order.
Text Solution
Verified by Experts
As `1/lambda prop(1/(n_1^2)-1/(n_2^2))` `1/lambda prop 1/(n_1^2) (because n_2=oo)` for Lyman series `n_1=1` for Balmer series `n_1=2` for Paschen series `n_1=3`. `:. lambda_(L) lt lambda_(B) lt lambda_(P)`.
