    The energy of the highest energy photon of Balmer series of hydrogen spectrum is close to                        [UPSEAT 2004]

    A)            13.6 eV                                   

    B)            3.4 eV

    C)            1.5 eV                                      

    D)            0.85 eV

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

               \[E=13.6\left[ \frac{1}{n_{1}^{2}}-\frac{1}{n_{2}^{2}} \right].\]For highest energy in Balmer series \[{{n}_{1}}=2\] and \[{{n}_{2}}=\infty \]Þ \[E=13.6\left[ \frac{1}{{{(2)}^{2}}}-\frac{1}{{{(\infty )}^{2}}} \right]=3.4\,eV\]
