The shortest wavelength in H spectrum of lyman series when `R_(H) = 109678 cm^(-1)` is

Options

A. `1002.7 Å`
B. `1215.67 Å`
C. `1127.30Å`
D. `911.7 Å`

Explanation

To find the shortest wavelength in the hydrogen spectrum of the Lyman series, we can follow these steps:

### Step 1: Understand the Lyman Series
The Lyman series corresponds to the transitions of electrons in a hydrogen atom from higher energy levels (n > 1) to the first energy level (n = 1). The shortest wavelength corresponds to the transition from the highest energy level (n = ∞) to n = 1.

### Step 2: Use the Rydberg Formula
The Rydberg formula for the wavelength of emitted light in the hydrogen spectrum is given by:
