Answer:
Correct Answer: 25.(b)
Solution:
Formula:
Wavelength Corresponding To Spectral Lines:
- The series in $U-V$ region is Lymen series. Longest wavelength corresponds to minimum energy which occurs in transition from $n=2$ to $n=1$.
$ \therefore \quad 122=\frac{\frac{1}{R}}{(\frac{1}{1^{2}}-\frac{1}{2^{2}})} $ $\quad$ …….(i)
The smallest wavelength in the infrared region corresponds to maximum energy of Paschen series.
$ \therefore \quad \lambda=\frac{\frac{1}{R}}{(\frac{1}{3^{2}}-\frac{1}{\infty})} $ $\quad$ …….(ii)
Solving Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get
$ \lambda=823.5$ $ nm $
