The frequencies for the series limit of the Balmer and Paschen series are $v_1$ and $v_3$ respectively. If the frequency of the first line of the Balmer series is $v_2$,then the relation between $v_1, v_2,$ and $v_3$ is:

  • A
    $v_1 - v_3 = 2v_1$
  • B
    $v_1 + v_2 = v_3$
  • C
    $v_1 - v_2 = v_3$
  • D
    $v_1 + v_3 = v_2$
