For the Balmer series in the spectrum of  H atom, v = R H 1 n 1 2 - 1 n 2 2  the correct statements among (I) to (IV) are :

(I) As wavelength decreases, the lines in the series converge

(II) The integer n 1  is equal to 2

(III) The lines of longest wavelength corresponds to n 2 = 3

(IV) The ionization energy of hydrogen can be calculated from wave number of these lines

Option 1 - <p>(II), (III), (IV)</p>
Option 2 - <p>(I), (III), (IV)&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
Option 3 - <p>(I), (II), (III)<br>&lt;!-- [if !supportLineBreakNewLine]--&gt;<br>&lt;!--[endif]--&gt;</p>
Option 4 - <p>(I), (II), (IV)</p>

Correct Option - 3
Detailed Solution:

v = 1 λ = R z 2 ? 1 n 1 2 - 1 n 2 2

For H atom z = 1

v = R 1 n 1 2 - 1 n 2 2

For Balmer series:  n 1 = 2

If n 2 = 3 1 λ = R z 2 1 4 - 1 9

1 λ = R 5 36

λ m a x = 36 5 R

v ? = 1 ? = R z 2 ? 1 n 1 2 - 1 n 2 2

For H atom z = 1

v ? = R 1 n 1 2 - 1 n 2 2

For Balmer series: n 1 = 2

If n 2 = 3 ? 1 ? = R z 2 1 4 - 1 9

1 ? = R 5 36

? m a x = 36 5 R
