A spectroscopic instrument can resolve two nearly wavelength `lambda and lambda + Delta lambda if lambda//Delta lambda` is smaller than `8000` This is used to study the spectral lines of the balmer series of hydrogen Approximately how many lines will be resolved by the instrument?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
The range of Balmer series is 656.3 nm to 365 nm. It can resolve `lambda` and `lambda + Delta lambda = 8000`
:. Number of wavelengths in the range
`=(656.3 -365)/3000=36`
Total number of lines `=36 +2 =38`
[Extra two is for first and last wavelength]
