If the wavelength of first member of Balmer series of hydrogen spectrum is 6564 Ao, the wavelength of second member of Balmer series will be :

a
1215 Ao
b
4862 Ao
c
6050 Ao
d
data given is insufficient to calculate the value

detailed solution

Correct option is B

1λα1n12−1n22∴λ1λ2=122−142122−132⇒6564λ2=2720;∴λ2=4862A∘
