Question

multiple choice question
which series of hydrogen emission spectrum lines has frequencies that fall in the range of visible light?
paschen series
balmer series
lyman series

Explanation:

The Balmer series corresponds to electron transitions in hydrogen atoms where the electron falls to the \(n = 2\) energy level. The wavelengths of these transitions are in the visible light range (approximately 400 - 700 nm). The Lyman series (\(n = 1\) as the final state) has wavelengths in the ultraviolet range, and the Paschen series (\(n=3\) as the final state) has wavelengths in the infrared range.

Answer:

Balmer series
