Dear student
 
Since the radiation of the Balmer series ends with n= 2.
Hence two longest wavelengths are the radiations corresponding to 
n = 3 to n= 2
And n = 4 to n =2
 
Now  find (E3- E2) = - (13.6 ev) 4² ( 1/9 -  1/4)
Then
Lambda = h c /E
Similarily for
(E4- E2)
 
Hope you understand.

1 first wavelength ​
n = 3  ,  E = _ 13.6 eV4 2 (1/9 – 1/4) 
but lamda = hc/E 
This gives the first longest wavelength . 
for  the second longest wavelenthg 
take n = 4 
therefore E = -13.6 eV 42 (1/16 – ¼)
Then lamda = hc/E
This gives the second wavelenthg
