    Ratio of the wavelengths of first line of Lyman series and first line of Balmer series is [EAMCET (Engg.) 1995; MP PMT 1997]

    A)            1: 3

    B)            27 : 5

    C)            5 : 27                                        

    D)            4 : 9

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                       \[\frac{1}{\lambda }=R\left( \frac{1}{n_{1}^{2}}-\frac{1}{n_{2}^{2}} \right)\]                    For first line of Lymen series n1 = 1 and n2 = 2                    For first line of Balmer series n2 = 2 and n2 = 3            So, \[\frac{{{\lambda }_{Lymen}}}{{{\lambda }_{Balmer}}}=\frac{5}{27}\]
