When an electron jumps from 3^rd orbit to 2^nd orbit, which series of spectral lines are obtained?(a) Balmer(b) Lyman(c) Paschen(d) BrackettI got this question by my college professor while I was bunking the class.I'm obligated to ask this question of Developments Leading to the Bohr’s Model of Atom topic in section Structure of Atom of Chemistry – Class 11

Answer»

Right answer is (a) Balmer

To explain I would say: As per the spectral LINES of the hydrogen, when an electron JUMPS from nth orbit to 2^nd orbit, it’s in Balmer series (provided that n = 3, 4, 5….). For Balmer series, the electron emits waves in visible region.
