Question

In which region of electromagnetic spectrum does the Balmer series lie?

• A. UV
• B. Visible
• C. Infrared
• D. Far infrared

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

Correct option: (D)

• The electromagnetic spectrum is the arrangement of radiation in the increasing order of energy or decreasing order of wavelength.
• Wavelength of spectral lines of the Balmer series are ranging between $400nm$ to $780nm$.
• The range of wavelengths of visible light matched the range of the Balmer series. So Balmer series lies in the visible light region of the electromagnetic spectrum.
• Lyman, Paschen, Brackett, and Pfund series lies in UV, IR, IR, and IR region respectively.
