Solution

The correct option is A 6 and 2
For Balmer series, transitions are made to second energy level, i.e, $n_{1} = 2$
$∴$ Fourth line is 6 to 2.

Q. Which of the following transition corresponds to the second line in Balmer series?

Q. The only electron in the hydrogen atom resides under ordinary conditions on the first orbit. When energy is supplied, the electron moves to higher energy orbit depending on the amount of energy absorbed. When this electron returns to any of the lower orbits, it emits energy. Lyman series is formed when the electron returns the lowest orbit while Balmer series is formed when the electron returns to the second orbit. Similarly, Paschen, Brackett, and Pfind series are formed when electron returns to the third, fourth, and fifth from higher orbits, respectively.
Maximum number of lines produced when an electron jumps from nth level to ground level is equal to

E corresponds to definite energy, thus, each transition from one energy level to another will produce a light of definite wavelength. This is actually observed as a line in the spectrum of hydrogen atom.
