Question:medium

One of the lines in the emission spectrum of \(\text{Li}^{2+}\) has the same wavelength as that of the second line of the Balmer series in hydrogen spectrum. The Balmer transition corresponds to \(n=4\rightarrow2\). If the corresponding transition in \(\text{Li}^{2+}\) is \(n=12\rightarrow x\), find the value of \(x\).

Show Hint

For hydrogen-like ions: \[ \lambda\propto\frac{1}{Z^2} \] Higher \(Z\) compresses the spectrum.
