Statement I : If the series limit wavelength of the Lyman series is `912 Å` then the series limit wavelength for Balmer and Paschen series is `912xx22 Å and 912xx2^(3)Å` respectively.
Statement II : Spectral lines emitted by the electron in the hydrogen atom in going from any energy state to n = 3 energy state will give the Brackett series.

A

Statement I is True, Statement II is True, Statement II is a correct explanation for Statement I

B

Statement I is True, Statement II is True, Statement II is not a correct explanation for Statement I

C

Statement I is True, Statement II is False.

D

Statement I is False, Statement II is True.

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

`H_(alpha), H_(beta), and H_gamma` were symbols given to the 1st, 2nd and 3rd lines of the Balmer series. They are not same for the Lyman series.
The assertion is a correct observation. In going from one end to the other, the brightness and the seperation between the spectral lines decreases.
