R = 1.097 × 10 7   m 1
(rydberg's constant)
To find : The shortest wavelength present in balmer series of hydrogen atom
Shortest wavelength of balmer series corresponding to transition between
levels n = 2 and n =
using rydberg's formula :
1 λ = R × ( 1 n 2 1 n 2 ) 1 λ = 1.097 × 10 7 × ( 1 2 2 1 ) 1 λ = 2.74 × 10 6 m 1 λ = 3.646 × 10 7 λ = 364.6 n m
(shortest wavelength in balmer series)
