Whenever a hydrogen atom emits a photon in the Balmer series .A. It may emit another photon in the Balmer seriesB. It must emit another photon in the lyman seriesC. the second photon, if emitted, will have a wavelength of about `122 nm`D. It may emit a second photon, the wavelength of this photon cannot be predicted

Answer» Correct Answer - B::C
Any traansition causing a photon to be emitted in the Balmer series must end `n = 2`. The must be followed by the transition from `n = 2 to n = 1`, emitting a photon of energy `10.2 eV,which corresponds to a wavelength of about `122 nm`. This belongs to the Lyman series.
