Question

a certain electronic transition from an excited state to ground state of hydrogen atom in one or more steps give rise to 4 lines in the ultraviolet region of the spectrum how many lines does this transition produced in the infrared region of the spectrum

Solution

Four lines are observed in the ultraviolet region of the spectrum. Thus the series is Lyman. These corresponds to the transitions 5 --->1 , 4--->1 , 3---->1 , 2---->1 The possible transitions in the IR region are 5 ----->4 (Brackett series) 5----->3 , 4----->3 (paschen series)
Thus, in the infrared region of the spectrum, 3 lines are produced.
