Chapter 37: Q. 3 (page 1081)

The wavelengths in the hydrogen spectrum with m=1 form a series of spectral lines called the Lyman series. Calculate the wavelengths of the first four members of the Lyman series.

Short Answer

Expert verified

λ1 = 121 nm , λ2 =102 nm ,λ3 =97.2nm , λ4=94.9

Step by step solution

01

Firstly  n1 =1 , n2=2

02

Secondly,  n1=1 , n2=3

03

Thirdly , n1=1 , n2=4

04

Lastly we have n1=1 , n2=5
