Number of lines in emission spectrum =(n(n-1)/2)=(4(4-1)/2)=6

Q. According to the Bohr theory of the hydrogen atom, electrons starting in the $4^{th}$ energy level and eventually ending in the ground state could produce a total of how many lines in the hydrogen spectra?

Number of lines in emission spectrum
$= \frac{n ( n - 1 )}{2} = \frac{4 ( 4 - 1 )}{2} = 6$

Q. According to the Bohr theory of the hydrogen atom, electrons starting in the 4th energy level and eventually ending in the ground state could produce a total of how many lines in the hydrogen spectra?

Number of lines in emission spectrum =2n(n−1)​=24(4−1)​=6
