A) \[\frac{9R}{400}c{{m}^{-1}}\]
B) \[\frac{7R}{144}c{{m}^{-1}}\]
C) \[\frac{3R}{4}c{{m}^{-1}}\]
D) \[\frac{5R}{36}c{{m}^{-1}}\]
Correct Answer: D
Solution :
\[\overline{v}=R\left( \frac{1}{n_{1}^{2}}-\frac{1}{n_{2}^{2}} \right)\] For Balmer series: \[{{n}_{1}}=2,\,{{n}_{2}}=3,4,5.....\infty \] For first emission line \[{{n}_{2}}=3\] \[\therefore \] \[\overline{v}=R\left( \frac{1}{{{2}^{2}}}-\frac{1}{{{3}^{2}}} \right)\] \[=R\left( \frac{1}{4}-\frac{1}{9} \right)=R\left( \frac{5}{36} \right)\] \[\overline{v}=\frac{5R}{36}c{{m}^{-1}}\]
