Answer:
Correct Answer: D
Solution:
- $ \frac{1}{\lambda }=R[ \frac{1}{n_{1}^{2}}-\frac{1}{n_{2}^{2}} ]. $ For first wavelength, $ n_{1} $ $ =2,n_{2}=3 $
$ \Rightarrow {\lambda_{1}}=6563\overset{o}{\mathop{A}},. $ For second wavelength, n, $ =2,n_{2}=4 $
$ \Rightarrow {\lambda_{2}}=4861\overset{o}{\mathop{A}}, $
