The wavelength of a spectral line emitted by hydrogen atom is given by 1/λ = R(1/2^2 - 1/n^2). What is the value of n?
Q1. The wavelength of a spectral line emitted by hydrogen atom is given by 1/λ = R(1/2^2 - 1/n^2). What is the value of n?
Answer: 3
Explanation: The given formula corresponds to the Balmer series; for the first line, n = 3; option B is for the second line.
