Using the Rydberg formula, the spectral line of H - atom is suitable for this purpose is Paschen, ∞ → 3.
- Using the Rydberg formula;
1/λ = RH(1/nf^2 - 1/ni^2)
Given that;
λ = wavelength
RH = Rydberg constant
nf = final state
ni = initial state
- When final state = 3 and initial state = ∞
Then;
1/λ = 1 × 10^7 m-1 (1/3^2 - 1/ ∞^2)
1/λ = 1 × 10^7 m-1 (1/3^2 )
λ = 900 nm
Hence, the correct answer is Paschen, ∞ → 3
