    If \[{{\lambda }_{\text{max}}}\] is 6563 Å, then wave length of second line for Balmer series will be                                            [RPMT 2000]

    A)            \[\lambda =\frac{16}{3R}\]    

    B)            \[\lambda =\frac{36}{5R}\]

    C)            \[\lambda =\frac{4}{3R}\]      

    D)            None of the above

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                       For Balmer series \[\frac{1}{\lambda }=R\left( \frac{1}{{{2}^{2}}}-\frac{1}{{{n}^{2}}} \right)\] where n = 3, 4, 5                    For second line n = 4            So \[\frac{1}{\lambda }=R\left( \frac{1}{{{2}^{2}}}-\frac{1}{{{4}^{2}}} \right)=\frac{3}{16}R\Rightarrow \lambda =\frac{16}{3R}\]
