The wavelength of the first line of the Balmer series of a hydrogen atom is $\lambda \ \mathring{A}$. The wavelength of the same line for a doubly ionized lithium atom $(Z = 3)$ is:

  • A
    $\lambda / 3$
  • B
    $\lambda / 9$
  • C
    $\lambda / 8$
  • D
    $\lambda / 27$

The ratio of minimum wavelength of Balmer series to maximum wavelength in Brackett series in hydrogen spectrum is

An electron jumps from the $4^{\text{th}}$ orbit to the $2^{\text{nd}}$ orbit of a hydrogen atom. Given Rydberg's constant $R_{H}=10^7 \ m^{-1}$,calculate the frequency in $Hz$ of the emitted radiation. (Take $c=3 \times 10^8 \ m/s$)

The difference between the frequencies of the second and first Paschen lines of the hydrogen atom is (where $R$ is the Rydberg constant and $c$ is the speed of light in vacuum).

Which series is found in the visible light region?

In the hydrogen atom spectrum,($R$ is Rydberg's constant):
$A$. The maximum wavelength of the radiation of the Lyman series is $\frac{4}{3R}$.
$B$. The Balmer series lies in the visible region of the spectrum.
$C$. The minimum wavelength of the radiation of the Paschen series is $\frac{9}{R}$.
$D$. The minimum wavelength of the Lyman series is $\frac{5}{4R}$.
