    The wavelength of first Lyman series in the transition from\[n=2\]to\[n=1\]is

    A)  110 nm                               

    B)  120 nm

    C)  122 nm                               

    D)  125 nm

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                    As \[{{E}_{n}}=\frac{-13.6}{{{n}^{3}}}eV\] At ground level \[(n=1),\]                                 \[{{E}_{1}}=\frac{-13.6}{12}=-13.6eV\] At first excited state\[(n=2),\]                 \[{{E}_{2}}=\frac{-13.6}{{{2}^{2}}}=-3.4eV\] As           \[hv={{E}_{2}}-{{E}_{1}}=-34+13.6=10.2eV\]                 \[=16\times {{10}^{-19}}\times 10.2=1.63\times {{10}^{-18}}J\] Also                 \[c=v\lambda \] So            \[\lambda =\frac{c}{v}=\frac{ch}{{{E}_{2}}-{{E}_{1}}}\]                 \[=\frac{(3\times {{10}^{8}})\times (6.63\times {{10}^{-34}})}{1.63\times {{10}^{-18}}}\]                 \[=1.22\times {{10}^{-7}}m\approx 122nm\]
