The wavelength of the radiation emitted when the electron jumps from 4th shell to 2nd shell isA. `4862 Å`B. `2056Å`C. `5241 Å`D. `109700` cm

Answer» Correct Answer - A
According to Balmer equation
Wave number `(barv)=109677(1/n_(1)^(2)-1/n_(2)^(2))cm^(-1)`
`barv=109677(1/((2)^(2))-1/((4)^(2)))cm^(-1)`
`=(109677xx3)/16cm^(-1)`
`lambda=1/v=16/(109677xx3)=4862xx10^(-8)`cm
`=4862xx10^(-10)m=4862 Å`
