Solution:
For maximum wavelength in the Balmer series, n
2
= 3 and n
1
= 2.
∴
\Rightarrow \quad \frac{1}{\lambda}=1.09\times10^{7}\times1\left(\frac{1}{4}-\frac{1}{9}\right)
\quad\quad\quad\ =1.09\times10^{7}\times1\left(\frac{5}{36}\right)
\Rightarrow \quad \lambda=1.09\times10^{7}\times1\left(\frac{5}{36}\right)
\quad \quad \quad = 6.60 × 10^{-7} m = 660
