In the line spectra of hydrogen atom, difference between the largest and the shortest wavelengths of the Lyman series is 305 A. The corresponding difference for the Paschan series in A is:________

Solution

1λmin=R1=R;n= to 1

1λmax=R114=3R4 ; n=2 to 1

 λmaxλmin=43R1R

304=13R                                              ......a

Paschen : Yλ'min=R19

and Yλ'max=R19116=7R16×9

λ'maxλ'min=16×97R9R=817R       ...b

ba=x3×304=817

 x=10553.14
