Hydrogen atom is excited from ground state to another state with principal quantum number equal to $4$. Then the number of spectral lines in the emission spectra will be
  1. $2$
  2. $3$
  3. $5$
  4. $6$

Solution

Number of spectral lines from a state $\mathrm{n}$ to ground state is $=\frac{n(n-1)}{2}=6.$
