  2. B infrared region
  3. C visible region
  4. D None of these
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) ultraviolet region

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The energy levels of a hydrogen atom are given by the Rydberg formula: \(\dfrac{1}{\lambda} = R \left( \dfrac{1}{n_1^2} - \dfrac{1}{n_2^2} \right)\), where \(R\) is the Rydberg constant, \(n_1\) is the lower energy level, and \(n_2\) is the higher energy level. For the Lyman…
