If an electron in a hydrogen atom jumps from an orbit of level $n=3$ to an orbit of level $n=2$,the emitted radiation has a frequency ($R=$ Rydberg constant,$C=$ velocity of light).

If $\lambda_{1}$ and $\lambda_{2}$ are the wavelengths of the third member of the Lyman series and the first member of the Paschen series respectively,then the value of $\lambda_{1} : \lambda_{2}$ is

What is an absorption spectrum?

$A$ hydrogen atom in its ground state absorbs a photon and the electron transitions to the $5^{th}$ orbit. When the excited atom returns to its ground state,it emits photons of various energies. What is the maximum number of spectral lines that can be obtained in this process?

The shortest wavelength in the Balmer series of the hydrogen atom spectrum is approximately equal to (use $R_{H} = 1.097 \times 10^7 \ \text{m}^{-1}$) (in $\text{Å}$)
