Which of the following spectral series of hydrogen atom is lying in visible region of electromagnetic wave ?

Answer»

PASCHEN SERIES
Pfund series
Lymen set as
Balner series.

Solution :When an atom comes down from some higher energy level to the second energy level `(n_(1)=2 and n_(2)=3,4,5....)`, then the lines of the spectrum are obtained in the VISIBLE PART.
These lines were seen and studeies fro the first time by Balmer in 1885. The longest wavelength of this series (for N=3) is 6563 Å and the shortest wavelength `("for n="oo)` is 3646Å. So, Balmer series is present in visible range of electromagnetic wave.
