Question

The energy levels of the hydrogen spectrum is shown in figure. There are some transitions A, B, C, D and E. Transition A, B and C respectively represent

• A. First member of Lyman series, third spectral line of Balmer series and the second spectral line of Paschen series
• B. Ionization potential of hydrogen, second spectral line of Balmer series and third spectral line of Paschen series
• C. Series limit of Lyman series, third spectral line of Balmer series and second spectral line of Paschen series
• D. Series limit of Lyman series, second spectral line of Balmer series and third spectral line of Paschen series

Answer 1

The correct option is C Series limit of Lyman series, third spectral line of Balmer series and second spectral line of Paschen series

Transition $A(n=\infty to1)$ : Series limit of Lyman series
Transition $B(n=5ton=2)$ : Third spectral line of Balmer series
Transition $C(n=5ton=3)$ : Second spectral line of Paschen series
