Wavelength of some of the lines emitted by H atoms are given below. Which lines belongs to Lyman series ?

Options

A. 1526 Å
B. 1026 Å
C. 1326 Å
D. 726 Å

Answer

B

Explanation

For lyman series , `lamda_(max) = 4/3 xxR = 1216 Å`
and `lamda_("min") = 1/R = 912 Å`
`therefore lamda= 1026 Å` will belong to lyman series .
Lines given by a, c, and d do not lie in this range
