Question:

The shortest wavelengths emitted in hydrogen spectrum corresponding to different spectral series are under:

(A) Pfund series
(B) Balmer series
(C) Brackett series
(D) Lyman series

The wavelengths arranged correctly in decreasing order are _________.

Fill in the blank with the correct answer from thd options given below.

Options:

(A), (B), (C), (D)

(A), (C), (B), (D)

(B), (A), (D), (C)

(A), (C), (D), (B)

Correct Answer:

(A), (C), (B), (D)

Explanation:

Wavelength is shortest when energy difference is large. Energy difference is largest in p fund , then Brackett , then balmer then lymen.

The correct answer is Option (2) → (A), (C), (B), (D)
