Solution

The correct option is D 6552A, 4863A
The wavelength of photon emitted due to the transition from n to m state of a hydrogen atom is given by 1λ=RH(1n21m2)
Let the wavelengths of first and second line of Balmer series be λ1 and λ2 respectively.
Now for first wavelength of Balmer series, n=2 and m=3
1λ1=1.097×107(122132)λ16563Ao

For second wavelength of Balmer series, n=2 and m=4
1λ2=1.097×107(122142)λ24861Ao
