Balmer gives an equation for wavelength of visible radiation of H spectrum as λ=kn²/(n²-4). The value of k in terms of Rydberg's constant R is?
R
4R
R/4
4R
Solution:
Generally the wavelength for Balmer series is given by, 1/λ=R(1/2² - 1/n²) Now substituting the value of λ given in above expression, n²/(kn²) = R(1/2² - 1/n²) or n²/(kn²) = R[(n²-4)/4n²] ork=4R
