Question

calculate the wave number and wAve length of the second line in the the balmer series of hydrogen spectrum​

Answer 1

Answer:

For the first line of any series (For Balmer, n = 2), wavenumber (1/λ) is represented as: 1/λ = R [1/n² - 1/(n+1)²], R is the Rydberg constant. The second line is represented as: 1/λ = R [1/n² - 1/(n+2)²], R is the Rydberg constant.
