Which of the following series spectrum of hydrogen atom lies in ultraviolet region?

  1. A Paschen series
  2. B Brackett series
  3. C Pfund series
  4. D Lyman series
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) Lyman series

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

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