If the series limit frequency of the Lyman series is vL, then the series limit frequency of the Pfund series is:

v_L/25

25v_L

16 v_L

v_L/16

Solution

v_L/25

Series limit frequency of the Lyman series is given by
$v_{L} = R c Z^{2} (\frac{1}{1^{2}} - \frac{1}{\infty^{2}}) ν_{L} = R c Z^{2} . . . (1)$

Series limit frequency of the Pfund series

$v_{p} = R c Z^{2} (\frac{1}{5^{2}} - \frac{1}{\infty^{2}}) v_{p} = \frac{v_{L}}{25}$
