    Which is the shortest wavelength line in the Lyman series of the hydrogen spectrum? \[(R=1.097\times {{10}^{-2}}n{{m}^{-1}})\]

    A)  94.21 nm            

    B)  91.16 nm            

    C)  911.6 nm      

    D)         933.6 nm

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    For Lyman series, \[\frac{1}{\lambda }=R\left( \frac{1}{{{(1)}^{2}}}-\frac{1}{{{n}^{2}}} \right)\] hence, for \[\lambda \] to be smallest, \[n\] should be greatest (i.e.,\[\infty \]).
