Question
The wave numbers of three spectral lines of $H$ atom are considered. Identify the set of spectral lines belonging to Balmer series.
( $R =$ Rydberg constant)
Options
A.$\frac{5R}{36},\frac{3R}{16},\frac{21R}{100}$
B.$\frac{5R}{36},\frac{8R}{9},\frac{15R}{16}$
C.$\frac{7R}{144},\frac{3R}{16},\frac{16R}{255}$
D.$\frac{3R}{4},\frac{3R}{16},\frac{7R}{144}$
Solution
Balmer series line $\Rightarrow \bar{v} = R_{H}z^{2}\left\lbrack \frac{1}{2^{2}} - \frac{1}{n^{2}} \right\rbrack$
if $n = 3 \Rightarrow \overline{v} = R(1)^{2}\left\lbrack \frac{1}{2^{2}} - \frac{1}{3^{2}} \right\rbrack = \frac{5R}{36}$
if $n = 4 \Rightarrow \bar{v} = \frac{3R}{16}$
if $n = 5 \Rightarrow \bar{v} = \frac{21R}{100}$
