Solution

The correct option is C Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect
Lyman series: frequency of emitted photon is in the ultraviolet region.
Balmer series: Frequency of emitted photon is in the visible region.
Now, frequency of energy of ultraviolet photon is much greater than frequency of visible region. So, assertion is true but reason is false.
