Question

The frequency of certain line of the Lyman series ($n_2 = 4$ to $n_1 = 1$) of the atomic spectrum of hydrogen can satisfy the following conditions:

Answer: A,C,D

💡 Solution & Explanation

By Ritz combination principle, $E_{4 \to 1} = E_{4 \to 2} + E_{2 \to 1}$ (Balmer + Lyman). Also $E_{4 \to 1} = E_{4 \to 3} + E_{3 \to 2} + E_{2 \to 1}$ (Paschen + Balmer + Lyman). Also $E_{4 \to 1} = E_{4 \to 3} + E_{3 \to 1}$ (Paschen + Lyman). Therefore, correct answer is A, C, D.
