In the hydrogen spectrum, the wavelengths of the first line (n = 3 to n = 2) and the series limit (n = ∞ to n = 2) of the Balmer series are λ₁ and λ₂ respectively. The ratio λ₁/λ₂ is:
Q5 · Atoms and Nuclei · HARD
A nucleus X undergoes alpha decay followed by two beta-minus decays to form nucleus Y. If the atomic number and mass number of X are Z and A respectively, then the atomic number and mass number of Y are:
