Answer» We know that, `(1)/(lamda)=R[(1)/(n_(1)^(2))-(1)/(n_(2)^(2))]` When `n_(1)=3 and n_(2)=5` `(1)/(12818)=R[(1)/(9)-(1)/(25)]=(16R)/(9xx25)` or `12818=(9xx25)/(16xxR)` . . .(i) When `n_(1)=2 and n_(2)=3` `(1)/(lamda)=R[(1)/(4)-(1)/(9)]=(5R)/(36)` . . . (i) `lamda=(36)/(5R)`. dividing (ii) by eqn. (i), `(lamda)/(12818)=(36)/(5R)xx(16R)/(9xx25)=(64)/(125)` `lamda=(64)/(125)xx12818=6562.8` Ã… |
