Which of the following series spectrum of hydrogen atom lies in ultraviolet region?
- A Paschen series
- B Brackett series
- C Pfund series
- D Lyman series
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…
