Paschen series :-
\mathrm{z}=1

\mathrm{I}^{\text {st }}$ line $:-4 \rightarrow 3
\frac{1}{\lambda}=\mathrm{R} \times(1)^2\left(\frac{1}{3^2}-\frac{1}{4^2}\right)
\frac{1}{720}=\mathrm{R}\left(\frac{7}{144}\right)\quad \quad(1)

\mathrm{II}^{\text {nd }}$ line $\rightarrow 5 \rightarrow 3
\frac{1}{\lambda}=\mathrm{R} \times(1)\left(\frac{1}{3^2}-\frac{1}{5^2}\right)
\frac{1}{\lambda}=\mathrm{R}\left(\frac{16}{225}\right)\quad \quad(2)

Equation (2) \div equation (1)
\frac{\lambda}{720}=\frac{7}{144} \times \frac{225}{16}
\lambda=492.18
