Whenever a hydrogen atom emits a photon in the Balmer series

Whenever a hydrogen atom emits a photon in the Balmer series .

Whenever a hydrogen atom emits photon in the Balmer series:

in cases of hydrogen atom, whenever a photon is emitted in the Balmer series, (a)there is a probability emitting another photon in the Lyman series (b) there is a probability of emitting another photon of wavelength 1213 Å (c ) the wavelength of radiaton emitted in Lyman series is always shorter then the wavelength emitted in the Balmer series (d) All of the above.

Whenever a hydrogen atom emits a photon in the Balmer series, it may emit another photon in the Balmer series it must emit another photon in the Lyman series the second photon, if emitted, will have a wavelength of about 122 nm it may emit a second photon, but the wavelength of this photon cannot be predicted
