Question:

The spectral series to which the emission line belongs, when electron in the hydrogen atom jumps from 4th energy state to 2nd energy state, is:

Options:

Paschen series

Lyman series

Balmer series

Brackett series

Correct Answer:

Balmer series

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (3) → Balmer series

When the electron jumps to 2nd energy state from any higher energy state (for e.g., 4th energy state)

The spectral line corresponds to Balmer series.
