Detailed Solution

v-=RH1n12-1n22

Here n=2 since Balmer series, the transition is between some energy level  n2  

and n1=2.

As the wave length decreases, the wave number increases. This implies that the difference122-1n22also increases or ultimately n2 increases. As n2increases , the lines in the series converge. Ionization energy of hydrogen can be calculated from wave number of lines in lyman series as the electron is present in n=1.Longest wave length.

corresponds to minimum difference betweeen 122 and 1n22 this is for n2=3
