Question

In Balmer series of emission spectrum of hydrogen, first four lines with different wavelength $H_{\alpha}H_{\beta}H_{\gamma}$ and $H_{\delta}$ are obtained. Which line has maximum frequency out of these?

• A. $H_{\alpha}$
• B. $H_{\beta}$
• C. $H_{\gamma}$
• D. $H_{\delta}$

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

$H_{\delta}$

Answer 2

Since out of the given four lines $H_{\delta}$line has smallest wavelength hence the frequency of this line will be maximum.
