The ratio of the minimum wavelength of the Lyman and Balmer series will be:
The wavelength, Blamer Series, and Lyman series.
Derivation:
Expression of wavelength =
where R is Rydberg constant,
The last line has the shortest wavelength.
For the shortest wavelength, take, ,
For the Lyman series , and for the Balmer series .
Therefore ratio of the shortest wavelengths =
Therefore, the correct option is (C) .
