Question:medium

In hydrogen spectral series, the wave numbers of the first Lyman line and the first Balmer line are in the ratio

Show Hint

Lyman is UV, Balmer is Visible. UV has higher energy and higher frequency/wave number than visible light, so the ratio \(\bar{\nu}_L / \bar{\nu}_B\) must be greater than 1.
