Detailed Solution

If λ is the de-Broglie wavelength, then for nth orbit 2rn=nλ
Where rn=0h2n2πme2Z
1λ=me2Z20h2n  ......i
For Lyman series 1λ=Z2R1121n2.......ii
From equations (i) and (ii) Z2R11n2=me2Z20h2n….. (iii)
Where R=me4802ch3  ....iv
After substituting the values in (iii) & (iv), we get n= 25
