I would like to mark the mistake of my mate "One and only one "
As he has taken Paschen Sereis and has made mistake
Inactual as it is given that Hydrogen atom is in ground state So we should take
n1 = 1 and thus it has to be Lyman sereis.
Since the Hydrogen atom is excited by a ray
With Wavelength of 970.6 A
So the nature of the wavelength is " U V Rays "
So the value of n1 = 1 and n2 = 2,3,4
That is it lies in the Lyman sereis
So the maximum value of the wavelength will be when H atom jumps to n2 = 4
1 /

= Rh * Z
2 [(1/ n
12) - ( 1 / n
22)]
As per the formula
1 /

= 109678 [ 1/1 - 1/16 ]
1 /

= 109678 [ 15/16 ]
1 /

= 102823.13
Therefore We will get

= 1 / 102823.13

= 0.0000097

= 97000 A
OR

= 0.0000097 nm.
Solved.
plZ rate me for my efforts .
Cheers !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
