    Q1. The shortest wavelength in the Balmer series corresponds to the transition from

    • A) n=3 to n=2
    • B) n=∞ to n=2
    • C) n=4 to n=2
    • D) n=5 to n=2

    Answer: n=∞ to n=2

    Explanation: Shortest wavelength corresponds to the transition from n=∞ to n=2; option A is the first line of Balmer series.
