Question

Match List I with List II.

List I (Spectral Lines of Hydrogen for transitions from) List II (Wavelengths (nm))
A. $n_{2} = 3$ to $n_{1} = 2$ I. 410.2
B. $n_{2} = 4$ to $n_{1} = 2$ II. 434.1
C. $n_{2} = 5$ to $n_{1} = 2$ III. 656.3
D. $n_{2} = 6$ to $n_{1} = 2$ IV. 486.1

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Options

A.A-IV, B-III, C-I, D-II
B.A-I, B-II, C-III, D-IV
C.A-II, B-I, C-IV, D-III
D.A-III, B-IV, C-II, D-I

Solution

Sol. [Key Concept: Matching physical quantities with expressions]

Energy difference $\Delta E = \frac{hc}{\lambda}$

$$\begin{matrix} & \ \therefore\lambda \propto \frac{1}{\Delta E} \\ & \ (\Delta E)_{6 - 2} > (\Delta E)_{5 - 2} > (\Delta E)_{4 - 2} > (\Delta E)_{3 - 2} \\ & \lambda_{6 - 2} < \lambda_{5 - 2} < \lambda_{4 - 2} < \lambda_{3 - 2} \\ & \text{~}\text{A-III, B-IV, C-II, D-I}\text{~} \end{matrix}$$
