An electrons jumps from fourth to first orbit in an atom .How many maximum number of spectral lines can be emitted by the atom ? To which series these lines corresponds ?

Solution

The formula for finding the no of spectral line is N= $\frac{(n_{2} - n_{1}) (n_{2} - n_{1} + 1)}{2}$ so putting the value $n_{2} = 4$ and $n_{1} = 1$ Then N=6.
These spectral line is belong to balmer's serie.
