        If\[{{\lambda }_{1}}\]and\[{{\lambda }_{2}}\]are the wavelengths of the first members of the Lyman and Paschen series respectively, then\[{{\lambda }_{1}}:{{\lambda }_{2}}\]is

    A)  \[1:3\]                                 

    B)  \[1:30\]

    C)  \[7:50\]                              

    D)  \[7:108\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

                    For first line of Lyman series, \[{{n}_{1}}=1\]and \[{{n}_{2}}=2\] \[\therefore \]\[\frac{1}{{{\lambda }_{1}}}=R\left( \frac{1}{{{1}^{2}}}-\frac{1}{{{2}^{2}}} \right)=R\left( 1-\frac{1}{4} \right)=\frac{3R}{4}\] For first line of Paschen series \[{{n}_{1}}=3\]and\[{{n}_{2}}=4\] \[\therefore \]\[\frac{1}{{{\lambda }_{2}}}=R\left( \frac{1}{{{3}^{2}}}-\frac{1}{{{4}^{2}}} \right)=R\left( \frac{1}{9}-\frac{1}{16} \right)\]                 \[=\frac{7R}{144}\] \[\therefore \]  \[\frac{{{\lambda }_{1}}}{{{\lambda }_{2}}}=\frac{7R}{144}\times \frac{4}{3R}=\frac{7}{108}\]
