View Solution

The first three spectral lines of the $H$-atom in the Balmer series are given as $\lambda_{1}, \lambda_{2}, \lambda_{3}$. Considering the Bohr atomic model,the wavelengths of the first and third spectral lines $\left(\frac{\lambda_{1}}{\lambda_{3}}\right)$ are related by a factor of approximately '$x$' $\times 10^{-1}$. The value of $x$,to the nearest integer,is:
