Question

The first member of the Balmer series of hydrogen atom has a wavelength of 6561 A0. The wavelength of the second member of the Balmer series (in nm) is ----

Moderate
Solution

Wavelength during transition can be given as,1λ=RZ21n121n22For first member of Balmer Series of Hydrogen : 1λ1=R12122132For second member of Balmer Series of Hydrogen : 1λ2=R12122142=3R16 λ2λ1=163R365R=2027λ2=2027×6561A0=4860A0 =486nm
