The difference between longest wavelength line of the Balmer series and shortest wavelength line of the Lyman series for a hydrogenic atom (Atomic number ZZ) equal to Δλ\Delta \lambda. The value of the Rydberg constant for the given atom is:
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
3151Δλ⋅Z2\frac{31}{5} \frac{1}{\Delta \lambda \cdot Z^2}
Option C (3151Δλ⋅Z2\frac{31}{5} \frac{1}{\Delta \lambda \cdot Z^2}) is correct because it correctly relates the Rydberg constant to the difference in wavelengths of the Balmer and Lyman series.
