Questions  

The ratio of longest wavelength and the shortest wavelength observed in the fifth spectral series of emission spectrum of hydrogen is

a
4/3
b
525/376
c
25
d
900/11

detailed solution

Correct option is D

Shortest wavelength comes from n1=∞  to  n2=1 and longest wavelength comes from n1= 6 to n2= 5 in thegiven case. Hence 1λmin=R112−1∞2=R1λmax=R152−162=R36−2525×36=11900R∴λmaxλmin=90011
