Detailed Solution

Using the formula:

1λ=RZ21n12-1n22

Value of R is 1.097×10-2 nm-1   and for hydrogen, Z=1.

n1 is 2 for Balmer series and for determining longest wavelength, minimum wavelength is considered because energy is inversely proportional to the wavelength.

1λ=1.097×10-2 nm-1×12×122-132 λ=656 nm
