Which are correct for emission spectra of Balmer series in $H$-atom?
- $\displaystyle\lambda _{(in nm)}=364.56\left[\frac{n^2 _2}{n^2 _2-n^2 _1}\right]$; where $n _1=2$ and $n _2 > 2$
- $\dfrac{1}{\lambda}=R\left[\displaystyle\frac{1}{n^2 _1}-\frac{1}{n^2 _2}\right];$ where $n _1=2$ and $n _2 > 2$; $R=3.29\times 10^{15}H _z$
- $\displaystyle\frac{1}{\lambda}=R _H \left[ \frac{1}{n^2 _1}-\frac{1}{n^2 _2}\right ];$ where $n _1=2$ and $n _2 > 2$; $R _H=1.09737\times 10^5cm^{-1}$
-
$\dfrac{1}{\lambda}=\frac{4c(in msec^{-1})}{364.56\times 10^{-9}}\left[\frac{1}{n^2 _1}-\frac{1}{n^2 _2}\right];$ where $n _1=2$ and $n _2 > 2$;
$c$ is speed of light.

Correct answer
Explanation
From Bohr model, we know that
in a transition,
$\displaystyle\frac{1}{\lambda}=R _H \left[ \frac{1}{n^2 _1}-\frac{1}{n^2 _2}\right ]$ where, $R _H = 109700cm^-$
For Balmer series, electron gets deexcited from 3rd or upper level to second level so $n _1 =2, n _2 >2$.
Also we know that,
$E=hc/\lambda$ so
$\displaystyle v=\frac{4c(in msec^{-1})}{364.56\times 10^{-9}}\left[\frac{1}{n^2 _1}-\frac{1}{n^2 _2}\right];$ where $n _1=2$ and $n _2 > 2$; $c$ is speed of light.
