Expert Solution
Step 1

The electronic transition which represents the shortest wavelength has to be identified.

Step 2

The formula to calculate the wavelength of a transition is as follows:

Chemistry homework question answer, step 2, image 1

Where,

The wavelength of the transition

R is Rydberg Constant

The initial orbit of an electron is n1

The final orbit of an electron is n2

So, the wave length is directly proportional to the square of electronic sate.

So, greater the value of
