Match List I with List II: Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
- A-II, B-I, C-IV, D-III
- A-III, B-IV, C-II, D-I
- A-IV, B-III, C-I, D-II
- A-I, B-II, C-III, D-IV
Answer
(2) A-III, B-IV, C-II, D-I
Solution
All four lines belong to the Balmer series (n1 = 2). The larger the energy gap, the shorter the wavelength:
1 = R ( 122 - 1n22 )
A. n2 = 3 2 (H ): longest, 656.3 nm (III)
B. n2 = 4 2 (H ): 486.1 nm (IV)
C. n2 = 5 2 (H ): 434.1 nm (II)
D. n2 = 6 2 (H ): shortest, 410.2 nm (I)
A-III, B-IV, C-II, D-I
