Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) Ultraviolet region

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Lyman series is a hydrogen spectral series of transitions and result in ultraviolet emission lines of the hydrogen atom as electron goes from \(n \geq 2\) to \(n=1\) (where \(n\) is the principal quantum number) the lowest energy level of electron. Hence, it lies in ultraviolet…
