    The ratio of minimum to maximum wavelength in Balmer series is                                            [MP PET 2000]                        

    A)            5 : 9                                          

    B)            5 : 36

    C)            1 : 4                                          

    D)            3 : 4

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

               \[\frac{1}{\lambda }=R\left[ \frac{1}{n_{1}^{2}}-\frac{1}{n_{2}^{2}} \right]\Rightarrow \frac{{{\lambda }_{\min }}}{{{\lambda }_{\max }}}=\frac{\left[ \frac{1}{{{2}^{2}}}-\frac{1}{{{3}^{2}}} \right]}{\left[ \frac{1}{{{2}^{2}}}-\frac{1}{\infty } \right]}=\frac{5}{9}\]
