The radius of nth orbit of H-like species is given by the expression 0.529n²/Z Å or 52.9n²/Z pm.
r₁ = 1.3225 nm = 1322.5 pm = 52.9n₁²/Z pm. (1)
r₂ = 211.6 pm = 52.9n₂²/Z pm. (2)
Dividing (1) by (2), we get
r₁/r₂ = 1322.5/211.6 = n₁²/n₂²
n₁²/n₂² = 6.25 ⇒ n₁/n₂ = 2.5
n₂ = 5, n₁ = 2.
The transition is in Balmer series.
ν = 1.097 × 10⁷(1/2² - 1/5²) = 1.097 × 10⁷ × 0.21 m⁻¹
λ = 1/ν = 1/(2.3037 × 10⁶) m = 434 × 10⁻⁹ m or 434 nm
The transition lies in the visible region.
