To determine:
The line in Balmer series which is the first one in the UV part of the spectrum.
Formula used:
1 λ = R H ( 1 n 1 2 1 n 2 2 )
Here, R H is the Rydberg constant.
Its value is = 1.097 × 10 7
Wavelength will be highest for first line.
So, λ = 380 × 10 9
Using formula:
1 380 × 10 9 × 1.097 × 10 7 = ( 1 2 2 1 n 2 2 ) 1 n 2 = 1 4 1 419.86 × 10 2 n 2 10
Answer: The line in Balmer series which is the first one in the UV part of the spectrum is 10
