    The longest wavelength in Balmer series of hydrogen spectrum will be

    A) \[6557\,\overset{\text{o}}{\mathop{\text{A}}}\,\]         

    B)        \[1216\,\overset{\text{o}}{\mathop{\text{A}}}\,\]         

    C)        \[4800\,\overset{\text{o}}{\mathop{\text{A}}}\,\]         

    D)        \[5600\,\overset{\text{o}}{\mathop{\text{A}}}\,\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    The longest wavelength in Balmer series of hydrogen spectrum occurs in third orbit. The relation for Balmer series is given by \[\frac{1}{\lambda }=R\left[ \frac{1}{{{2}^{2}}}-\frac{1}{{{3}^{2}}} \right]\] \[=R\left[ \frac{1}{{{2}^{2}}}-\frac{1}{{{3}^{3}}} \right]\]  (where R has the value \[1.098\times {{10}^{7}}\] per metre) \[=\frac{5}{36}\times 1.098\times {{10}^{7}}\]                 \[\lambda =\frac{36\times {{10}^{-7}}}{5\times 1.098}\] \[=6557\,\overset{\text{o}}{\mathop{\text{A}}}\,\]
