Balmer series is the one which corresponds to a lower level of m = 2 
Third line of balmer series is the one in which upper level corresponds to m= 5 
Rydberg constant = 1.09 × 10 7 m  1 
Using formula for transition lines :
1/wavelength = Rydberg constant ( 1 m 1 2  1 m 2 2 ) 
1 / wavelength = 1.09 × 10 7 [ 1 2 2  1 5 2 ] 
1 / wavelength = = 1.09 × 10 7 [ 21 100 ] 
Wavelength = 4.34 × 10  7 m 
Wavelength =434 nm\
