    If \[{{\lambda }_{\max }}\] is 6563 \[\overset{\text{o}}{\mathop{\text{A}}}\,\], then wave length of second line for Balmer series will be          

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

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

    C) \[\lambda =\frac{4}{3R}\]     

    D) None of the above

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

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