The electron in the hydrogen atom undergoes transition from higher orbitals to orbital of radius 211.6 pm. This transition is associated with:

A

Lyman series

B

Balmer series

C

Paschen series

D

Brackett series

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
The orbital with radius 211.6 pm
`r_(n)=n^()a_(0), 211.6" pm"=n^(2)xx52.9" pm, "n^(2)=4," "n=2`
It will be Balmer series.
