Identify the region of spectral lines of electromagnetic spectrum, when electron transition takes place from higher energy levels to $n=3,4,5$ in atomic spectrum of hydrogen is
  1. Ultraviolet
  2. Visible
  3. Infrared
  4. Microwave

Solution

$\mathrm{n}_2=1$ from $\mathrm{n}_1=2,3,4 \ldots \Rightarrow$ Lyman series (UV) $\mathrm{n}_2=2$ from $\mathrm{n}_1=3,4,5 \ldots \Rightarrow$ Balmer series (Visible) $\mathrm{n}_2=3$ from $\mathrm{n}_1=4,5,6 \ldots \Rightarrow$ Paschen Series (IR) $\mathrm{n}_2=4$ from $\mathrm{n}_1=5,6,7 \ldots \Rightarrow$ Brackett Series (IR) $\mathrm{n}_2=5$ from $\mathrm{n}_1=6,7,8 \ldots \Rightarrow P$ fund Series (IR)
