The value of n(1) in Balmer series is...

The value of `n_(1)` in Balmer series is

A

it may emit another quantum in Balmer series again

B

it must emit another quantum in ultraviolet region of Lyman series

C

second quatum of wavelength 122nm will be emitted

D

second quantum will be emitted in Paschen series i.e., near infrared region

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B, C

Second quantum will be in Lyman sereis because from 2nd shell the electron will fall to first shell or ground state.
`1/(lambda) = R[1/(n_1^2) - 1/(n_2^2)] = 109677 [1/(1^2) - 1/(2^2)]` ,
`lambda = 122 xx 10^(-7) cm = 122 `nm
