The emission spectrum of hydrogen is found to satisfy the expression for the energy change `Delta E` (in joules) such that
`Delta E = 2.18 xx 10^(-18)((1)/(n_(1)^(2))-(1)/(n_(2)^(2)))J`
where `n_(1) = 1,2,3,....` and `n_(2) = 2,3,4,...` The spectral lines correspond to Paschen series if

the only electron in the hydrogen atom resides under ordinary conditions in the first orbit. When energy is supplied the electron moves to higher energy orbit depending on the amount of energy absorbed. It emits energy. Lyman series is formed when the electron returns to the lowest orbit while Balmer series is formed when the electron returns to second. Similarly, Paschen, Breakett and Pfund series are formed when electron returns to the third, fourth and fifth orbits from higher energy orbits respectively (as shown in figure). Maximum number of different lines produced when electron jump from nth level to ground level is equal to (n(n-1))/(2). For example in the case of n=4, number of lines produced is 6.(4to3,4to2,4to1,3to2,3to1,2to1). When an electron returns from n_(2) "to"n_(1) state, the number of different lines in the spectrum will be equal to ((n_(2)-n_(1))(n_(2)-n_(1)+1))/(2) If the electron comes back from energy level having energy E_(2) to energy level having energy E_(1), then the difference may be expressed in terms of energy of photon as: E_(2)-E_(1)=DeltaE,lambda=(hc)/(DeltaE),DeltaE=hv(v-"frequency") Since h and c are constants DeltaE corresponds to definite energy: thus each transition from one energy level to another will produce a light of definite wavelength. This is actually observed as a line in the spectrum of hydrogen atom.
