The correct Answer is:
To determine which statements regarding spectral series are correct, we will analyze each option step by step. ### Step 1: Analyze the first option **Statement:** The lines in the Balmer series correspond to the electronic transition from the energy level higher than n = 1. **Analysis:** - The Balmer series involves transitions where electrons fall to the n = 2 energy level (n1 = 2). - The transitions can occur from n = 3, 4, 5, etc. (n2 = 3, 4, 5, ...). - Therefore, the statement is incorrect because the transitions start from n = 3, which is higher than n = 2, not n = 1. **Conclusion:** The first option is **incorrect**. ### Step 2: Analyze the second option **Statement:** Paschen series appears in the infrared region. **Analysis:** - The Paschen series involves transitions where electrons fall to the n = 3 energy level (n1 = 3). - The transitions can occur from n = 4, 5, 6, etc. (n2 = 4, 5, 6, ...). - The Paschen series is indeed located in the infrared region. **Conclusion:** The second option is **correct**. ### Step 3: Analyze the third option **Statement:** The lines of Lyman series appear in the visible region. **Analysis:** - The Lyman series involves transitions where electrons fall to the n = 1 energy level (n1 = 1). - The transitions can occur from n = 2, 3, 4, etc. (n2 = 2, 3, 4, ...). - The Lyman series is located in the ultraviolet region, not the visible region. **Conclusion:** The third option is **incorrect**. ### Step 4: Analyze the fourth option **Statement:** Transition from the high energy level to the fifth energy level produces the Pfund series, which falls in the infrared region. **Analysis:** - The Pfund series involves transitions where electrons fall to the n = 5 energy level (n1 = 5). - The transitions can occur from n = 6, 7, 8, etc. (n2 = 6, 7, 8, ...). - The Pfund series is indeed located in the infrared region. **Conclusion:** The fourth option is **correct**. ### Final Conclusion - The correct statements regarding spectral series are: - Option 2: Paschen series appears in the infrared region (Correct). - Option 4: Transition from high energy level to the fifth energy level produces the Pfund series, which falls in the infrared region (Correct). ### Summary of Correct Options - **Correct Options:** 2 and 4 - **Incorrect Options:** 1 and 3 ---
