    Lyman series
  • B
    Balmer series

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.
