    Question

    The transition shown below in an hydrogen atom gives rise to a radiation that belongs to

    A.

    Paschen series

    B.

    Brackett series

    C.

    Lyman series

    D.

    Balmer series

    Correct option is D


    Correct answer is D
    Explanation:
    In the hydrogen atom, spectral lines are grouped into different series based on the final energy level (nf) to which the electron transitions:
    Lyman series: Transitions to nf = 1
    Balmer series: Transitions to nf = 2
    Paschen series: Transitions to nf = 3
    Brackett series: Transitions to nf = 4
    The transition shown occurs to nf = 2. Therefore, it belongs to the Balmer series.
