Hello!!!!

Hope you are doing great!!!!

According to rydberg's equation 1/λ = RZ 2 (1/n 1 2 - 1/n 2 2 )

λ is inversly proportional to n 2

therefore ..;;

λ1/λ2=n2 2 /n1 2

As balmer series start from first line i.e, n1=2,n2=3,λ1=λ ,λ2=?

λ/λ2=3^2/2^2

λ/λ2=9/4

Therefore., wave length of second line in balmer series ,, λ2=4λ/9

Hope it helps !!!!!
