Q.2 (iv) Which series of spectral lines belongs to the ultraviolet region of the hydrogen spectrum?
Best answer
Answer: The Lyman series.
It is emitted when electrons jump from higher orbits (\(n=2,3,4,\dots\)) to the first orbit (\(n=1\)); its wavelengths (about 912 Å to 1216 Å) lie in the ultraviolet region.
