Question

For any given series of spectral lines of atomic hydrogen, let $\Delta \mathop v\limits^\_ = $ $\Delta {\overline v _{\max }} - \Delta {\overline v _{\min }}$ be the difference in maximum and minimum frequencies in cm^–1. The ratio Lyman Balmer ${{\Delta {{\overline v }_{Lyman}}} \over {\Delta {{\overline v }_{Balmer}}}}$ is :

9 : 4

4 : 1

27 : 5

5 : 4
