The ratio of longest wavelength lines in the Balmer and Paschen series of hydrogen spectrum is

The ratio of longest wavelength lines in the Balmer and Paschen series of hydrogen spectrum is
  1. $\frac{5}{36}$
  2. $\frac{7}{20}$
  3. $\frac{7}{144}$
  4. $\frac{5}{27}$

Solution


On dividing Eq. (B) by Eq. (A), we get $\frac{\lambda_{B L}}{\lambda_{P L}}=\frac{7}{20}$
