The Hβ line of hydrogen

Question

The Hβ line of hydrogen (A) has a wavelength 656.3 nm. (B) has a wavelength 434.1 nm. (C) has a wavelength smaller than that of Hγ line. (D) is emitted in the transition from the third excited state to the first excited state.

The wavelength of Hβ line is 486.1 nm. The wavelength of Hβ line is greater than that of Hγ line (λHγ= 434.1 nm). Hβ line corresponds to transition from the third excited state (n = 4) to the first excited state (n = 2).

Q. The $H_{β}$ line of hydrogen

has a wavelength 656.3 nm.

has a wavelength 434.1 nm.

has a wavelength smaller than that of $H_{γ}$ line.

is emitted in the transition from the third excited state to the first excited state.

The wavelength of $H β$ line is $486.1 nm .$
The wavelength of $H_{β}$ line is greater than that of $H_{γ}$ line $(λ_{H_{γ}} = 434.1 nm) .$
$H_{β}$ line corresponds to transition from the third excited state $(n = 4)$ to the first excited state $(n = 2)$ .
