The electron in the hydrogen atom undergoes transition from higher orbitals to orbital of radius \(211.6\, pm\). This transition is associated with

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

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) Balmer series

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(r = 0.529 \times \frac{{{n^2}}}{Z}\) \(r = 211.6\,pm = 2.11\,\mathop A\limits^o \) \( \Rightarrow 0.529 \times \frac{{{n^2}}}{Z} = 2.11\,\mathop A\limits^o \) \(n = 2\) (Balmer series)
