    The longest wavelength line in the Lyman series of the hydrogen spectrum is

    A) \[949.8\,\overset{\text{o}}{\mathop{\text{A}}}\,\]

    B) \[972.6\,\overset{\text{o}}{\mathop{\text{A}}}\,\]

    C) \[1215.8\,\overset{\text{o}}{\mathop{\text{A}}}\,\]

    D) \[1025.8\,\overset{\text{o}}{\mathop{\text{A}}}\,\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    \[\frac{1}{\lambda }{{R}_{H}}\left[ \frac{1}{n_{1}^{2}}-\frac{1}{n_{2}^{2}} \right]\] For longest wavelength in Lyman series, \[{{n}_{1}}=1,\text{ }{{n}_{2}}=2\]                 \[\frac{1}{\lambda }=1.09678\times {{10}^{7}}\left[ \frac{1}{{{(1)}^{2}}}-\frac{1}{{{(2)}^{2}}} \right]\]                 \[\frac{1}{\lambda }=\frac{1.09678\times {{10}^{7}}\times 3}{4}\] \[\therefore \]  \[\lambda =1.2156\times {{10}^{-7}}m=1215.6{AA}\]
