Which of the following series of transitions in the spectrum of hydrogen atom fall in visible region?

Options

  1. ABalmer series
  2. BPaschen series
  3. CBrackett series
  4. DLyman series

Correct answer

A. Balmer series

Step-by-step solution

The wavelength of light emitted during electronic transitions in a hydrogen atom is given by the Rydberg formula: 1 = R ( 1 n₁^2 - 1 n₂^2 ) , where n₁ is the lower energy level and n₂ is the higher energy level. The Lyman series corresponds to transitions ending at n₁ = 1 , which fall in the ultraviolet region. The Balmer series corresponds to transitions ending at n₁ = 2 , which fall in the visible region. The Paschen series corresponds to transitions ending at n₁ = 3 , which fall in the infrared region. The Brack
