Which of the following series in the spectrum of the hydrogen atom lies in the visible region of the electromagnetic spectrum

A

Paschen series

B

Balmer series

C

Lyman series

D

Brackett series

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Transition from higher states ton=2 lead to emission of radiation with wavelengths 656.3 nm and 365.0 nm. These wavelengths fall in the visible region and constitute the Balmer series.
