Since the wave number is inversely proportional to the wavelength of transition. For minimum wave number, the value of the higher energy level should be minimum. Therefore, the wave number for the longest wavelength transition in the Balmer series of atomic hydrogen is 1.52×106m−1 1.52 × 10 6 m − 1 .
