Q. In Balmer series of emission spectrum of hydrogen, first four lines with different wavelength $H_{α}, H_{β}, H_{γ}$ and $H_{δ}$ are obtained. Which line has maximum frequency out of these?

$H_{α}$

$H_{β}$

$H_{γ}$

$H_{δ}$

Since out of the given four lines $H_{δ}$ line has smallest wavelength. Hence the frequency of this line will be maximum.
