The only e^- in the H-atom resides under ordinary conditions on the first orbit when energy is supplied, the e^- moves to higher energy shells depending upon the amount of energy absorbed. When an e emits energy i.e., the e^- returns to the lowest energy state, from this Lyman, Balmer, Paschen, Bracket, Pfund series are there, so different spectral lines in the spectra of atoms correspond to different transitions of e^- s from higher to lower energy levels: The ratio of number of spectral lines obtained when an e^- s jumps from 7^(th) to ground to 6^(th) to 3^(rd)

Answer»

7
3.5
10
2.5

Solution :Ratio of NUMBER of spectral lines
`IMPLIES((7(7-1))/(2))/(((6-3)(6-3+1))/(2)) = (21)/6 = 3.5`
