The shortest wavelength spectral line in...

The shortest wavelength spectral line in the brackett series of the spectrum of atomic hydrogen is the transition :

A

`n_(2)=ooton_(1)=1`

B

`n_(2)=8ton_(1)=4`

C

`n_(2)=ooton_(1)=4`

D

`n_(2)=4ton_(1)=3`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

More the energy difference, shorter will be the wavelength. Thus `n=ooton=4` will be shortest wavelength line in brackett series.
