If the longest wavelength in the ultraviolet region of hydrogen spectrum is `lambda_0` then the shortest wavelength in its infrared region is

A

`(46)/7lambda_0`

B

`(20)/3lambda_0`

C

`(36)/5lambda_0`

D

`(27)/4lambda_0`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D

`lambda_0` =the longest wavelength in the ultraviolet region of hydrogen spectrum
= the longest wavelength in Lyman series.
`therefore 1/(lambda_0)=R(1/(1^2)-1/(2^2)) =3/4 R`
or, `lambda_0 =4/(3R) ` [R=Rydberg constant]
Again, if the shortest wavelength in the infrared region of hydrogen spectrum = the shortest wavelength in Paschen series= `lambda`,
`1/(lambda)=R(1/3^2-1/oo^2)=R/9 or, lambda=9/R=(27)/4 lambda_0`
