The highest energy in Balmer series, in ...

The highest energy in Balmer series, in the emission spectra of hydrogen is represented by: `(R_(H) = 109737 "cm"^(-1))`

A

`4389.48 cm^(-1)`

B

`2194.74 cm^(-1)`

C

`5486.85 cm^(-1)`

D

`27419.25 cm^(-1)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
`barv=(1)/(lambda)=R_(H)z^(2)[(1)/(n_(1)^(2))-(1)/(n_(2)^(2))]=109677 xx 1^(2)[(1)/(2^(2))-(1)/(oo^(2))]=27419.25 cm^(-1)`
(series limit will be of highest energy)
