The wave number of the series limiting line for the Lyman series for hydrogen atom is (R `=109678cm^(-1)`)

A

`82259cm^(-1)`

B

`109678cm^(-1)`

C

`1.2157xx10^(5)cm`

D

`9.1176xx10^(-6)cm`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
According to Rydberg equation
`barv=109678 1/(1^(2))-1/(oo^(2))=109678cm^(-1)`
The limiting line corresponding to `n_(2)=oo`
