A.
B.
C.
D.
The Correct Answer is Option (B)
For the longest wavelength in the Lyman series,
n1 = 1 and n2 = 2
=
For the longest wavelength in the Balmer series,

=
7. Hydrogen atom in ground state is excited by a monochromatic radiation of = 975 . Number of spectral lines in the resulting spectrum
emitted will be ⇒ (AIPMT 2014)
A. 3
B. 2
C. 6
D. 010
The Correct Answer is Option ()
Energy of radiation :
E = = 12.7 eV
After absorbing a photon of energy 12.75 eV, the
electron will reach to third excited state of energy
–0.85 eV, since energy difference corresponding to
n = 1 and n = 4 is 12.75 eV.
Number of spectral lines emitted
= = 6
8. Ratio of longest wave lengths corresponding to Lyman and Balmer series in hydrogen spectrum is
⇒ (NEET 2013)
A.
B.
C.
D.
The Correct Answer is Option (C)
We see that wavelength of Lyman series,
nf
= 3, ni
= 4
=
We see that wavelength of Balmer series :
nf
= 2, ni
= 3
=
Now ratio of longest wavelengths corresponds to
Lyman and Balmer series:
=
