Let `v_(1)` be the frequency of the series limit of the Lyman series, `v_(2)` be the frequency of the first line of the Lyman series, and `v_(3)` be the frequency of the series limit of the Balmer series. Then

Options

A. `v_(1)-v_(2)=v_(3)`
B. `v_(2)-v_(1)=v_(3)`
C. `v_(3)=(1)/(2)(v_(1)+v_(3))`
D. `v_(1)+v_(2)=v_(3)`

Answer

A

Explanation

`DeltaE(1 "to" oo)=DeltaE(1"to" 2)+DeltaE(2"to" oo)`
`=upsilon_(1)=upsilon_(2)+upsilon_(3)`
