  1. Question 1

    Q1. The spectral lines emitted by hydrogen atom are given by 1 / λ = R * (1 / n1² - 1 / n2²). What is the value of n1 for Lyman series?

    • A) 1
    • B) 2
    • C) 3
    • D) 4

    Answer: 1

    Explanation: For Lyman series, n1 = 1, as it corresponds to transitions to the ground state.
