The correct Answer is:
To find the wave number of the last line of the Balmer series in the hydrogen spectrum, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the formula for wave number The wave number (denoted as \( \bar{\nu} \)) is given by the formula: \[ \bar{\nu} = R \left( \frac{1}{n_f^2} - \frac{1}{n_i^2} \right) \] where: - \( R \) is the Rydberg constant, - \( n_f \) is the final energy level, - \( n_i \) is the initial energy level. ### Step 2: Identify the values for the Balmer series For the Balmer series: - The final energy level \( n_f \) is always 2. - The last line of the Balmer series corresponds to the transition from \( n_i = \infty \) to \( n_f = 2 \). ### Step 3: Substitute the values into the formula Substituting \( n_f = 2 \) and \( n_i = \infty \) into the wave number formula: \[ \bar{\nu} = R \left( \frac{1}{2^2} - \frac{1}{\infty^2} \right) \] Since \( \frac{1}{\infty^2} = 0 \), we have: \[ \bar{\nu} = R \left( \frac{1}{4} \right) \] ### Step 4: Substitute the value of the Rydberg constant Given that the Rydberg constant \( R = 10^7 \, \text{m}^{-1} \): \[ \bar{\nu} = 10^7 \left( \frac{1}{4} \right) = \frac{10^7}{4} \, \text{m}^{-1} \] ### Step 5: Calculate the wave number Calculating \( \frac{10^7}{4} \): \[ \bar{\nu} = 2.5 \times 10^6 \, \text{m}^{-1} = 0.25 \times 10^7 \, \text{m}^{-1} \] ### Conclusion Thus, the wave number of the last line of the Balmer series in the hydrogen spectrum is: \[ \bar{\nu} = 0.25 \times 10^7 \, \text{m}^{-1} \] ### Final Answer The correct option is \( 0.25 \times 10^7 \, \text{m}^{-1} \). ---
