A certain transition is H spectrum from an excited state to the ground state in one or more steps gives a total of `10` lines .How many of these belong to the UV spectrum ?

Options

A. 3
B. 4
C. 6
D. 5

Explanation

To solve the problem of how many lines in the hydrogen spectrum belong to the UV spectrum when transitioning from an excited state to the ground state, we can follow these steps:

### Step 1: Understand the Formula for Spectral Lines
The number of spectral lines (N) emitted during transitions from an excited state (n1) to a lower energy state (n2) can be calculated using the formula:
\[ N = \frac{n_1(n_1 - 1)}{2} \]
where \( n_1 \) is the principal quantum number of the excited state and \( n_2 \) is the principal quantum number of the ground state (which is 1 for hydrogen).

### Step 2: Set Up the Equation
