    The ratio of the frequency corresponding to the third line in Lyman series of hydrogen atomic spectrum to that of the first line in Balmer series of \[L{{i}^{2+}}\]spectrum is    

    A) \[\frac{4}{5}\]

    B) \[\frac{5}{4}\]

    C) \[\frac{4}{3}\]  

    D) \[\frac{3}{4}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Lyman series, \[{{n}_{1}}=1\]
    For third line of Lyman series, \[{{n}_{2}}=1\]
    For hydrogen, \[Z=1\]
    \[{}_{\overline{V}H}=\frac{1}{\lambda }={{R}_{H}}{{Z}^{2}}\left( \frac{1}{n_{1}^{2}}-\frac{1}{n_{2}^{2}} \right)\]
    \[={{R}_{H}}{{(1)}^{2}}\left( \frac{1}{1}-\frac{1}{{{\left( 4 \right)}^{2}}} \right)=\frac{15}{16}{{R}_{H}}\] ? (i)
    For lithium, Z=3
    For first line of Balmer series, \[{{n}_{1}}=2,{{n}_{2}}=3\]
    \[{{\overline{v}}_{Li}}={{R}_{H}}{{(3)}^{2}}\left( \frac{1}{{{(2)}^{2}}}-\frac{1}{{{(3)}^{2}}} \right)\]\[={{R}_{H}}\times 9\times \frac{5}{36}=\frac{5}{4}{{R}_{H}}\]
    On dividing equation (i) by (ii), we get
    \[\frac{{{\overline{v}}_{H}}}{{{\overline{v}}_{Li}}}=\frac{\left( \frac{15}{16} \right){{R}_{H}}}{\left( \frac{5}{4} \right){{R}_{H}}}=\frac{15}{16}\times \frac{4}{5}=\frac{3}{4}\]
