The first line in the Lyman series has wavelength $\lambda $. The wavlength of the first line in Balmer series is

A

$\frac{2}{9}\lambda $

B

$\frac{9}{2}\lambda $

C

$\frac{5}{27}\lambda $

D

$\frac{27}{5}\lambda $

Solution

For first line in Lyman series $\lambda_{L_{1}}=\frac{4}{3 R}$           ………..$(i)$

For first line in Balmer series $\lambda_{B_{1}}=\frac{36}{5 R}$            …………$(ii)$

From equations $(i)$ and $(ii)$

$\frac{\lambda_{\mathrm{B}_{1}}}{\lambda_{\mathrm{L}_{1}}}=\frac{27}{5}$

$ \Rightarrow \lambda_{\mathrm{B}_{1}} \frac{27}{5} \lambda_{\mathrm{L}_{1}} $

$\Rightarrow \lambda_{\mathrm{B}_{1}} \frac{27}{5} \lambda$
