Which of the following series of emission spectral lines for hydrogen observed in visible region?
- A Paschen
- B Lyman
- C Pfund
- D Balmer
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) Balmer
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
The Balmer series refers to a series of emission spectral lines in the visible region of the electromagnetic spectrum for hydrogen. These lines are produced when an electron transitions from a higher energy level \((n \geq 3)\) to the second energy level \((n=2)\) of the hydrogen atom.
The wavelengths of the lines in the Balmer series fall within the visible light spectrum, and they correspond to the colors observed in hydrogen's emission spectrum, including red, blue, and violet lines.
