If $\lambda_1$ is the wavelength of the series limit of the Lyman series,$\lambda_2$ is the wavelength of the first line of the Lyman series,and $\lambda_3$ is the series limit of the Balmer series,then the relation between $\lambda_1, \lambda_2,$ and $\lambda_3$ is:

  • A
    $\frac{1}{\lambda_1} - \frac{1}{\lambda_2} = \frac{1}{\lambda_3}$
  • B
    $\frac{1}{\lambda_1} = \frac{1}{\lambda_2} - \frac{1}{\lambda_3}$
  • C
    $\lambda_2 = \lambda_1 + \lambda_3$
  • D
    $\lambda_1 = \lambda_2 + \lambda_3$

$X$ different wavelengths may be observed in the spectrum from a hydrogen sample if the atoms are excited to states with principal quantum number $n = 6$. The value of $X$ is ..... .

The wavelengths corresponding to the first four spectral lines of the Lyman series of the $H$-atom are $\lambda = 1218 \, \mathring{A}, 1028 \, \mathring{A}, 974.3 \, \mathring{A}$,and $951.4 \, \mathring{A}$. Now,consider a deuterium atom instead of a hydrogen atom. Given the mass of the hydrogen atom is $1.6725 \times 10^{-27} \, kg$,the mass of the deuterium atom is $3.3374 \times 10^{-27} \, kg$,and the mass of the electron is $9.109 \times 10^{-31} \, kg$,calculate the percentage change in the wavelength of the first spectral line of the Lyman series for the deuterium atom relative to the hydrogen atom.
